The limits of cover that You choose should exclude Goods and Services Tax (GST).
If You are not registered for GST in the event of a claim We will reimburse You the GST component in addition to the amount that We pay.
The amount that We are liable to pay under this Policy will be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit that You are or may be entitled to claim for the supply of goods or services covered by that payment.
If You are entitled to an input tax credit for the premium, You must inform Us of the extent of that entitlement at or before the time You make a claim under this Policy. We will not indemnify You for any GST liability, fines or penalties that arise from or are attributable to Your failure to notify Us of Your entitlement (or correct entitlement) to an input tax credit on the premium.
If You are liable to pay an excess under this Policy, the amount payable will be calculated after deduction of any input tax credit that You are or may be entitled to claim on payment of the excess.
