When to use this return
A special GST return must be files when a creditor sells a debtor's goods in satisfaction of a debt. If a creditor repossesses and then resells goods that were used in a taxable activity, the GST must be accounted for on the sale, unless either:
- the debtor advises the creditor in writing that the sale would not be taxable if they had sold the goods themselves, and the reasons why such a sale would not be taxable, or
- the creditor holds enough reasonable information to conclude that a sale by the debtor would not have been taxable.
The creditor's responsibility to file a special GST return is not affected by whether or not they are registered for GST.
What you will need
- Registration number of the person selling the goods (creditor)
- Registration number of the person whose goods were sold (debtor)
