75‑12 Working out margins to take into account failure to pay full consideration
In working out the *margin for a *taxable supply of *real property you make (the later supply), if: (a) you had acquired the interest, unit or lease in question through a supply (the earlier supply); and (b) the *consideration for: (i) if your acquisition was not an acquisition from a *member of a *GST group of which you were also a member at the time of the acquisition—the earlier supply; or (ii) if your acquisition was such an acquisition—the last supply of the interest, unit or lease at a time when the supplier of that last supply was not, but the *recipient of that last supply was, a member of the GST group; had not been paid in full at the time of the later supply; treat the amount of the consideration as having been reduced by the amount of unpaid consideration referred to in paragraph (b).
Note: If you subsequently pay more of the consideration for the earlier supply, you may have a decreasing adjustment: see section 75‑27.
