These rights exist regardless of whether your claim is paid under a non-indemnity or an indemnity clause in respect of any of the covers provided. Recovery We will apply any money we recover from someone else under a right of subrogation in the following order: 1. to us, our costs (administration and legal) arising from the recovery. 2. to us, an amount equal to the amount that we paid to you in respect of any of the covers provided. 3. to you, your uninsured loss (less your excess). 4. to you, your excess. Once we pay your total loss, we will keep all money left over. If we have paid your total loss and you receive a payment from someone else for that loss or damage, you must pay us the amount of that payment up to the amount of the claim we paid you. If we pay you for lost or damaged property and you later recover the property or it is replaced by a third party, you must pay us the amount of the claim we paid you. Business travellers how GST affects your claim If you are entitled to claim an input tax credit in respect of a cost for which a claim is made, or would be entitled to an input tax credit if you were to incur the relevant cost (i.e. in replacing a lost or stolen item), the amount we would otherwise pay will be reduced by the amount of that input tax credit. Travel within Australia only If you are entitled to claim an input tax credit in respect of your premium, you must inform us of the amount of that input tax credit (as a percentage) at the time you first make a claim.
