Corrections

On page 17 of Tax Information Bulletin Vol 18, No 4 (May 2006) there is an item stating that the taxable supplies threshold for accounting for GST on a payments basis is to be read as GST-exclusive. The equivalent GST-inclusive amount should, on current rates, be read as $1,462,500, not $1,625,000 as previously advised.
