Before you start
You will need the value of GST that would be charged on the supply of the land and related goods and services if it was not zero-rated, and the percentage of land that is not intended to be used for making taxable supplies.
Calculate the GST adjustment
Use the following method to calculate:
GST value x percentage of land not used for making taxable supplies
Sarah purchased a building for $3 million. The supply to Sarah is zero-rated.
She intends to rent the ground floor (60%) to commercial tenants and the upper floor (40%) to residential tenants. Because supplying the upper floor to residential tenants is an exempt supply of residential accommodation, Sarah needs to make an adjustment.
The GST adjustment or output tax can be calculated as:
$3 million x 15% = $450,000 (the amount of tax chargeable if not zero-rated)
$450,000 x 40% = $180,000.
Sarah will account for $180,000 as an adjustment or output tax.
