40‑5.10 Incidental financial supplies
Despite regulation 40‑5.12, if something is supplied by an entity to a recipient directly in connection with a financial supply to the recipient by the entity, the thing is an incidental financial supply if:
(a) it is incidental to the financial supply; and
(b) it and the financial supply are supplied, at or about the same time, but not for separate consideration; and
(c) it is the usual practice of the entity to supply the thing, or similar things, and the financial supply together in the ordinary course of the entity’s enterprise.
Note: Regulation 40‑5.12 applies subject to this regulation. As a result, if something is both an incidental financial supply and within the scope of an item in the table in regulation 40‑5.12, it will still be a financial supply.
Example of an incidental financial supply: Advice, for which a separate charge is not made, in relation to a housing loan
40‑5.11 Examples of supplies that are financial supplies
Something mentioned in a Part of Schedule 7 that relates to a financial supply mentioned in an item in the table in regulation 40‑5.09, or to an incidental financial supply, is an example of the financial supply mentioned in the item or of the incidental financial supply.
Note 1: The examples are not to be taken as exhaustive.
Note 2: If an example in Schedule 7 is inconsistent with the description in this Division of the financial supply to which the example relates, the description prevails.
See section 15AD of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
Note 3: Something that is within the scope of an item in the table in regulation 40‑5.09 will be a financial supply described in that item even if it is not mentioned as an example of the item set out in the Part of Schedule 7 relating to the item.
40‑5.12 What supplies are not financial supplies (Act s 40‑5)
For subsection 40‑5(2) of the Act, the supply of something, or an interest in or under something, that is mentioned in an item in the following table is not a financial supply:

Note 1: Regulation 40‑5.09 applies subject to this regulation. As a result, if something is within the scope of both an item in the table in regulation 40‑5.09 and an item in the table in this regulation, it will not be a financial supply.
Note 2: Regulation 40‑5.10 applies despite this regulation. As a result, if something is both an incidental financial supply and within the scope of an item in this table, it will still be a financial supply.
Note 3: Division 105 of the Act deals with supply in satisfaction of a debt.
Note 4: Sections 7‑1 and 9‑70 of the Act, and this regulation in respect of items 7 and 8 in this table, have the effect that GST is payable on the premium (if any) on a taxable deliverable commodity derivative and the price on settlement when the commodity is delivered.
