Deposit-bond This clause applies only if this contract says the vendor has agreed to accept a deposit-bond for the deposit (or part of it). The purchaser must provide the original deposit-bond to the vendor’s solicitor (or if no solicitor the depositholder) at or before the making of this contract and this time is essential. If the deposit-bond has an expiry date and completion does not occur by the date which is 14 days before the expiry date, the purchaser must serve a replacement deposit-bond at least 7 days before the expiry date. The time for service is essential. The vendor must approve a replacement deposit-bond if – 3.4.1 it is from the same issuer and for the same amount as the earlier deposit-bond; and 3.4.2 it has an expiry date at least three months after its date of issue. A breach of clauses 3.2 or 3.3 entitles the vendor to terminate. The right to terminate is lost as soon as – 3.5.1 the purchaser serves a replacement deposit-bond; or 3.5.2 the deposit is paid in full under clause 2. Clauses 3.3 and 3.4 can operate more than once. If the purchaser serves a replacement deposit-bond, the vendor must serve the earlier deposit-bond. The amount of any deposit-bond does not form part of the price for the purposes of clause 16.7. The vendor must give the purchaser the deposit-bond – 3.9.1 on completion; or 3.9.2 if this contract is rescinded. If this contract is terminated by the vendor – 3.10.1 normally, the vendor can immediately demand payment from the issuer of the deposit-bond; or 3.10.2 if the purchaser serves prior to termination a notice disputing the vendor’s right to terminate, the vendor must forward the deposit-bond (or its proceeds if called up) to the depositholder as stakeholder. If this contract is terminated by the purchaser – 3.11.1 normally, the vendor must give the purchaser the deposit-bond; or 3.11.2 if the vendor serves prior to termination a notice disputing the purchaser’s right to terminate, the vendor must forward the deposit-bond (or its proceeds if called up) to the depositholder as stakeholder.

Land – 2019 edition If the vendor accepts a bond or guarantee for part of the deposit, clauses 2.1 to 2.5 apply only to the balance. If any of the deposit or of the balance of the price is paid before completion to the vendor or as the vendor directs, it is a charge on the land in favour of the purchaser until termination by the vendor or completion, subject to any existing right. If each party tells the depositholder that the deposit is to be invested, the depositholder is to invest the deposit (at the risk of the party who becomes entitled to it) with a bank, in an interest-bearing account in NSW, payable at call, with interest to be reinvested, and pay the interest to the parties equally, after deduction of all proper government taxes and financial institution charges and other charges.

Vendor's rights and obligations The vendor can rescind if – 8.1.1 the vendor is, on reasonable grounds, unable or unwilling to comply with a requisition; 8.1.2 the vendor serves a notice of intention to rescind that specifies the requisition and those grounds; and 8.1.3 the purchaser does not serve a notice waiving the requisition within 14 days after that service. If the vendor does not comply with this contract (or a notice under or relating to it) in an essential respect, the purchaser can terminate by serving a notice. After the termination – 8.2.1 the purchaser can recover the deposit and any other money paid by the purchaser under this contract; 8.2.2 the purchaser can sue the vendor to recover damages for breach of contract; and 8.2.3 if the purchaser has been in possession a party can claim for a reasonable adjustment.

Goods and services tax (GST) Terms used in this clause which are not defined elsewhere in this contract and have a defined meaning in the GST Act have the same meaning in this clause. Normally, if a party must pay the price or any other amount to the other party under this contract, GST is not to be added to the price or amount. If under this contract a party must make an adjustment or payment for an expense of another party or pay an expense payable by or to a third party (for example, under clauses 14 or 20.7) – 13.3.1 the party must adjust or pay on completion any GST added to or included in the expense; but 13.3.2 the amount of the expense must be reduced to the extent the party receiving the adjustment or payment (or the representative member of a GST group of which that party is a member) is entitled to an input tax credit for the expense; and 13.3.3 if the adjustment or payment under this contract is consideration for a taxable supply, an amount for GST must be added at the GST rate. If this contract says this sale is the supply of a going concern – 13.4.1 the parties agree the supply of the property is a supply of a going concern; 13.4.2 the vendor must, between the contract date and completion, carry on the enterprise conducted on the land in a proper and business-like way; 13.4.3 if the purchaser is not registered by the date for completion, the parties must complete and the purchaser must pay on completion, in addition to the price, an amount being the price multiplied by the GST rate ("the retention sum"). The retention sum is to be held by the depositholder and dealt with as follows – ● if within 3 months of completion the purchaser serves a letter from the Australian Taxation Office stating the purchaser is registered with a date of effect of registration on or before completion, the depositholder is to pay the retention sum to the purchaser; but ● if the purchaser does not serve that letter within 3 months of completion, the depositholder is to pay the retention sum to the vendor; and 13.4.4 if the vendor, despite clause 13.4.1, serves a letter from the Australian Taxation Office stating the vendor has to pay GST on the supply, the purchaser must pay to the vendor on demand the amount of GST assessed. Normally, the vendor promises the margin scheme will not apply to the supply of the property. If this contract says the margin scheme is to apply in making the taxable supply, the parties agree that the margin scheme is to apply to the sale of the property. If this contract says the sale is not a taxable supply – 13.7.1 the purchaser promises that the property will not be used and represents that the purchaser does not intend the property (or any part of the property) to be used in a way that could make the sale a taxable supply to any extent; and 13.7.2 the purchaser must pay the vendor on completion in addition to the price an amount calculated by multiplying the price by the GST rate if this sale is a taxable supply to any extent because of – ● a breach of clause 13.7.1; or ● something else known to the purchaser but not the vendor.

Adjustments Normally, the vendor is entitled to the rents and profits and will be liable for all rates, water, sewerage and drainage service and usage charges, land tax, levies and all other periodic outgoings up to and including the adjustment date after which the purchaser will be entitled and liable. The parties must make any necessary adjustment on completion. If an amount that is adjustable under this contract has been reduced under legislation, the parties must on completion adjust the reduced amount. The parties must not adjust surcharge land tax (as defined in the Land Tax Act 1956) but must adjust any other land tax for the year current at the adjustment date – 14.4.1 only if land tax has been paid or is payable for the year (whether by the vendor or by a predecessor in title) and this contract says that land tax is adjustable; 14.4.2 by adjusting the amount that would have been payable if at the start of the year – ● the person who owned the land owned no other land; ● the land was not subject to a special trust or owned by a non-concessional company; and ● if the land (or part of it) had no separate taxable value, by calculating its separate taxable value on a proportional area basis. If any other amount that is adjustable under this contract relates partly to the land and partly to other land, the parties must adjust it on a proportional area basis. Normally, the vendor can direct the purchaser to produce a settlement cheque on completion to pay an amount adjustable under this contract and if so – 14.6.1 the amount is to be treated as if it were paid; and 14.6.2 the cheque must be forwarded to the payee immediately after completion (by the purchaser if the cheque relates only to the property or by the vendor in any other case). If on completion the last bill for a water, sewerage or drainage usage charge is for a period ending before the adjustment date, the vendor is liable for an amount calculated by dividing the bill by the number of days in the period then multiplying by the number of unbilled days up to and including the adjustment date. The vendor is liable for any amount recoverable for work started on or before the contract date on the property or any adjoining footpath or road.

If this contract says this sale is a taxable supply to an extent – 13.9.1 clause 13.7.1 does not apply to any part of the property which is identified as being a taxable supply; and 13.9.2 the payments mentioned in clauses 13.7 and 13.8 are to be recalculated by multiplying the relevant payment by the proportion of the price which represents the value of that part of the property to which the clause applies (the proportion to be expressed as a number between 0 and 1). Any evidence of value must be obtained at the expense of the vendor. Normally, on completion the vendor must give the recipient of the supply a tax invoice for any taxable supply by the vendor by or under this contract. The vendor does not have to give the purchaser a tax invoice if the margin scheme applies to a taxable supply. If the vendor is liable for GST on rents or profits due to issuing an invoice or receiving consideration before completion, any adjustment of those amounts must exclude an amount equal to the vendor’s GST liability. If the purchaser must make a GSTRW payment the purchaser must – 13.13.1 at least 5 days before the date for completion, serve evidence of submission of a GSTRW payment notification form to the Australian Taxation Office by the purchaser or, if a direction under clause 4.3 has been served, by the transferee named in the transfer served with that direction; 13.13.2 produce on completion a settlement cheque for the GSTRW payment payable to the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation; 13.13.3 forward the settlement cheque to the payee immediately after completion; and 13.13.4 serve evidence of receipt of payment of the GSTRW payment and a copy of the settlement date confirmation form submitted to the Australian Taxation Office.
