Published on 14 Sep 17 by NATIONAL DIVISION, THE TAX INSTITUTE

This presentation covers:

  • case law - Sterling Guardian Pty Limited v Commissioner of Taxation [2005] FCA 1166
  • how has this influenced the decisions on GST following this case?
  • is this still a relevant approach today given the cases that have since been decided?
  • how does this approach differ from the approach to interpretation of other tax laws, state and federal?
