The High Court considered the question of whether, by honouring the lease covenants of the lessor (as it was required to do by law), the purchaser made input taxed supplies of residential premises to the lessee that gave rise to an increasing adjustment under Div 135 of the <em>A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999<\/em>, ultimately concluding that the purchaser did make input taxed supplies to the lessee and a Div 135 increasing adjustment did arise. The case has broader implications, particularly in respect of the statutory definition of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153supply,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d which the High Court found need not be interpreted with any reference to its ordinary meaning. The article discusses those findings in detail, as well as the possible ramifications of the decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To purchase this article, complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/subscribe-or-purchase\/individual-article-sale\/\">Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to <a href=\"mailto:tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com\">tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1AzmojY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NEWS FROM ASIA PACIFIC<\/a><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Fluctuation in rates of sales tax on petroleum products in Pakistan <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Shafi U Khan Niazi <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1JjwUkm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GST UPDATE<\/a><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Place of supply in Malaysia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new GST <\/strong><em>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Christine Peacock<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the pdf version of the table of contents, click here:\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Westlaw-AU-AGSTJ-Vol-15-No-1-Contents.pdf\">Westlaw AU &#8211; AGSTJ Vol 15 No 1 Contents<\/a> or here:\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2015\/05\/Checkpoint-AGSTJ-Vol-15-No-1-Contents.pdf\">Checkpoint &#8211; AGSTJ Vol 15 No 1 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1QdnZop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1DXEmhe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here to access this Part on Checkpoint<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest Part of the Australian GST Journal includes the following material: Article: &#8220;MBI Properties in the High Court: The meaning of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153supply\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153price\u00e2\u20ac\u009d&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Gina Lazanas and Robyn Thomas; News from Asia Pacific: &#8220;Fluctuation in rates of sales tax on petroleum products in Pakistan&#8217; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Shafi U Khan Niazi; and GST Update: &#8220;Place of supply in Malaysia\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s new GST&#8221; \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Christine Peacock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1844,39],"tags":[5818,5819,5023,1842,5820,5821,4213,5822,5028,5823,741,4215,5824,5825],"class_list":["post-7399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-australian-gst-journal-agstj","category-update-summaries","tag-price","tag-supply","tag-a-new-tax-system-goods-and-services-tax-act-1999","tag-agstj","tag-christine-peacock","tag-commissioner-of-taxation-v-mbi-properties-pty-ltd-2014-hca-49","tag-gina-lazanas","tag-gst-update","tag-malaysia","tag-news-from-asia-pacific","tag-pakistan","tag-robyn-thomas","tag-sales-tax","tag-shafi-u-khan-niazi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.thomsonreuters.com.au\/journals\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
