15. Value Added Tax (Goods and Services Tax)‍

15.1 In this clause 15:

(a) "Laws" means any applicable law, statute, by law, regulation, order, regulatory policy (including any requirement or notice of any regulatory body), guidance or industry code of practice, rule of court or directive, delegated or subordinate legislation in force from time to time; and

15.4 You must pay the amount referred to in clause 15.3 to Awayco at the same time that the first part of the consideration for the supply is to be paid or provided, subject to Awayco issuing a VAT (GST) invoice or other document as may be required to be issued by Awayco by any relevant Laws.

15.5 The Parties agree that if any relevant Laws allow or oblige you to:

(a) treat any supply made by Awayco pursuant to these Terms as made by you (as opposed to
Awayco), or

(b) to account for VAT (GST) on the supply (instead of Awayco accounting for the VAT (GST)), you must account for VAT (GST) under the reverse charge procedure or whatever procedure is appropriate according to the Laws and clause 15.3 does not apply.

15.6 If a Party is entitled to be reimbursed or indemnified under these Terms for a cost or expense which includes VAT (GST), the amount to be reimbursed or indemnified must be reduced to the extent that the Party (or another member of a VAT (GST) group of which that Party is a member) is entitled to an input VAT (GST) deduction or credit.

15.7 If the VAT (GST) payable on a supply made under these Terms varies from the amount paid by you to Awayco in accordance with clause 15.3 following a change to the consideration or otherwise, then:‍

(a) Awayco must recalculate the amount of VAT (GST) payable under clause 15.3 and notify you of the new amount within 14 days of becoming aware of the adjustment or variation;

(b) a corresponding amount must be paid by Awayco to you, or by you to Awayco (as the case requires); and‍

(c) Awayco will issue you any further appropriate VAT (GST) invoice or a credit note for VAT
