STAMP ACT 1921 - SECT 96

96 .         Apportionment of premiums and instalments

        (1)         This section applies to a contract of insurance that effects both general insurance and other insurance.

        (2)         If the proportion of the premium that is attributable to general insurance is not ascertainable at the time the contract is entered into, the proportion is the proportion calculated in accordance with the applicable method of apportionment from time to time established as a practice of the Commissioner and published under section 127 of the Taxation Administration Act 2003 .

        (3)         A method of apportionment published under section 127 of the Taxation Administration Act 2003 may, for a particular class of contracts of insurance, have the effect that the proportion of the premium that is attributable to general insurance is zero.

        (4)         If the Commissioner is satisfied that a premium or instalment has not been, or cannot be, appropriately apportioned under this section, the Commissioner may —

            (a)         determine the appropriate proportions; and

            (b)         if necessary — reassess the amount of duty payable in respect of the contract of insurance.

        (5)         The extent to which an instalment is attributable to general insurance is the same as the extent to which the premium is attributable to general insurance under this section.
