Pre 01/07/2000: valuation method

Post 01/07/2000: consideration method

​

Example: Using the consideration method

​

Bob is a GST registered builder. On 1 December 2002, Bob purchased a block of land for $150,000 from a vendor who was not registered for GST.

​

Bob paid $550 in conveyancing fees and $7,000 in stamp duty on the purchase of the land.

​

Bob later constructed a house on the land and sold the house and land for $315,000. Bob chose to use the margin scheme to work out the GST on the sale.

​

The margin for the sale of the house and land package is $165,000 ($315,000 − $150,000).

​

The GST Bob must pay on the margin for the sale is $15,000 ($165,000 × 1/11th).

Bob has a tax invoice for the conveyancing fees and can claim a GST credit of $50 ($550 × 1/11th) in the tax period to which the purchase applies.

​

Bob also holds tax invoices for $110,000 of business purchases he made when building the house. Bob is able to claim $10,000 in GST credits for these purchases.

​

Bob is not entitled to any GST credits on the stamp duty as GST is not included in the cost.
