Deemed Invoice

There are situations where the GST Act provides that a supply has taken place even though no goods or services have been supplied and / or no consideration has been paid

For GST purposes, these supplies are known as deemed supplies.

Common examples include gifting of goods purchased from GST-registered suppliers which cost over $200 per gift and disposal of business assets for no consideration.

The value of the deemed supply and the corresponding output tax must be reported in the GST return
