Our client is buying a commercial property. The price is $1,200,000 but the price on the contract and the deposit are both inclusive of gst $1,320,000 and $132,000. Is this correct? Can you client request a tax invoice when he pays the deposit to the stakeholder?

Your client can definitely ask for a tax invoice, especially when paying for a GST supply and intend to claim GST credit.


However, for GST purposes it is generally accepted that a supply of real property occurs at settlement rather than when the contract is signed.
