Taxation Information

If Insured Persons are not registered for GST, in the event of a claim We will reimburse the Insured Persons the GST component in addition to the amount that We pay. The amount that the Insured Person is liable to pay under this Policy will be reduced by the amount of any tax credit that the Insured Person is or may be entitled to claim for the supply of goods or services covered by that payment.

If you are entitled to an input tax credit for the Premium you must inform us of the extent of that entitlement at or before the time you make a claim under this Policy. We will not indemnify you for any GST liability, fines or penalties that arise from or are attributable to your failure to notify us of your entitlement (or correct entitlement) to an input tax credit on the Premium.

If you are liable to pay an Excess under the Policy, the amount payable will be calculated after deduction of any input tax credit that you are or may be entitled to claim on payment of the Excess.

If You or Insured Persons are unsure about the taxation implications of this Policy, You should seek advice from Your accountant or tax professional.

Don't Prevent Our Right of Recovery

The Liability Policy contains a provision which states that if You surrender Your right to seek recovery from another party a loss covered by the Policy, We have a right to reject any claim from You in relation to that loss.
