Went to Repco to buy some bits and pieces to service the Jack which are normally GST exempt if you produce the appropriate form duly completed and told by sales manager that this scheme is due to change on 1st July 08. It's administered by the ATO so don't ring DVA and whinge to them as they have nothing to do with it...
Basically the changes are:
TPI Vets will no longer be able to purchase a car GST free unless the car complies with the ATO guidelines and to be provided by "selected" dealers at fleet price. NO 4X4's, no luxury, no cars for touring only for "ESSENTIAL" travel. (sounds like Scroooooby has got into someones ear) the "memeo' prattled on about TPI vets "abusing" the current setup and using GST exempt vehicles for "pleaseure' when the scheme is intended to supply vets with a vehicle only for "essential" travel, what ever that is....
Parts will not be available GST FREE but supplied vehicles will be serviced by "Selected Vehicle Maintenance" providers at some sort of "negotiated" price....
The bloke would not give me a copy of the memo he had recieved.
I took the oportunity to tell the guy to keep his parts and went around the corner, calmed down, checked for casual skirt & went to Super Cheap and got the stuff there cheaper (we always give War Vets trade price said the C O C) than I was going to get it GST exempt from Repco anyway...I have registered my extreme displeasure with the ATO and sit down for a long wait for a response.
