(1) For paragraph 10A(3)(a) of the Act, the amount mentioned in subsection 10A(1) of the Act is payable only if the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the person who made the acquisition is subject to an agreement in writing between the head of the consular post and the Commonwealth to repay to the Commonwealth the amount worked out in subsection (2) if: (i) for a payment in relation to an acquisition of a motor vehicle—the person disposes of the motor vehicle (except to another person entitled to an indirect tax concession under this Determination or another law of the Commonwealth in relation to similar acquisitions) in Australia or an external Territory within 3 years after it was acquired; or (ii) for a payment in relation to an acquisition of goods other than a motor vehicle—the person disposes of the goods (except to another person entitled to an indirect tax concession under this Determination or another law of the Commonwealth in relation to similar acquisitions) in Australia or an external Territory within 2 years after they were acquired; or (iii) for a payment in relation to any other acquisition (except an acquisition covered by paragraph 6(1)(c))—the person assigns the benefits acquired to another person (except another person entitled to an indirect tax concession under this Determination or another law of the Commonwealth in relation to similar acquisitions) in Australia or an external Territory; (b) if the person who made the acquisition has breached a previous agreement under paragraph (a)—the person complies with any written requirements, including a requirement to give security, that the Minister considers necessary to ensure the person complies with the agreement. (1A) For subparagraphs (1)(a)(i) and (ii): (a) a sale of goods to a finance company as part of a sale and lease‑back arrangement is not a disposal of the goods; and (b) a person (the first person) is taken to have disposed of goods to which 1 of those subparagraphs applies within the period mentioned in that subparagraph to a person who is not entitled to an indirect tax concession in relation to similar acquisitions if: (i) the first person disposes of the goods to a person (the second person) who is entitled to the concession; and (ii) the second person disposes of the goods to another person; and (iii) the series of disposals of the goods to other persons continues (if necessary) until the goods are eventually acquired, within the period mentioned in that paragraph, by a person who is not entitled to the concession. (2) For paragraph (1)(a), the amount to be repaid is: (a) for an acquisition to which subparagraph (1)(a)(i) or (ii) applies—the proportion of the amount paid under section 10A of the Act in relation to the acquisition that is equal to the proportion of the period mentioned in that subparagraph remaining after the person disposes of the goods; and (b) for an acquisition to which subparagraph (1)(a)(iii) applies—the amount paid under subsection 10A of the Act in relation to the acquisition.
