Hi,


I had an accident in which my car was written off(total loss). I used that car for Ride-share and I did claim about 93% Income Tax Credits under my ABN. Now the insurance company asking to provide the % ITCE and they also mentioned they will deduct the amount from the payout. Initially they agreed to payout $35600 and then they said they will deduct $384 for CTP and registration. And now they stating that they also deduct around $3700 as I claimed 93%. So can I claim back that amount through Tax? Are they entitled to deduct the amount from the payout. I have to pay to my financial service as my car was financed. Can you please explain?

HI @sammo433


You were eligible to claim the ITC back when you purchased the car.


Therefore, it would be double dipping for the insurance company to have to pay you the GST credit.

hi Toby,


thank you for the update but I’m still confused here. So I can ask the insurance company not to deduct ITC amount ? Or I’m entitled to pay that amount? Can I claim back?


sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you
