Part 12Transitional provisions
85ECertain contracts entered into before 1 April 2024
This section applies to a supply of listed services described in section 8C(2)(a) when—
- the supply is made through an electronic marketplace; and
- the contract under which the supply is made was entered into before 1 April 2024; and
- the time of supply for that supply takes place on or after 1 April 2024; and
- section 60C(2)(ab) would apply to the supply in the absence of this section.
Subject to subsections (3) and (4), the operator of the electronic marketplace may choose that section 60C(2)(ab) will not apply to the supply. For the purposes of this subsection and subsection (3), a listing intermediary is treated as if they were the operator of the electronic marketplace if section 60CB(7) applies.
If the underlying supplier is a registered person, the operator of the electronic marketplace may only apply subsection (2) if they take reasonable steps within a reasonable time to—
- notify the underlying supplier that the operator chooses not to apply section 60C(2)(ab) to that supply; and
- provide sufficient information to the underlying supplier to enable the underlying supplier to correctly account for output tax on the supply.
If section 60CB(7) does not apply and a listing intermediary is interposed between the underlying supplier and the operator of the electronic marketplace, the operator may only apply subsection (2) if they take reasonable steps within a reasonable time to—
- notify the listing intermediary that the operator chooses not to apply section 60C(2)(ab) to that supply; and
- provide sufficient information to the listing intermediary for the listing intermediary to provide to the underlying supplier to enable the underlying supplier to correctly account for output tax on the supply.
