CROWN PERTH — INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION
BUSINESS TAX
420. Hon SAMANTHA ROWE to the
minister representing the Treasurer:
I refer to a letter dated 4 May 2012 from the Minister for
Sport and Recreation to the Treasurer that discusses how Crown Perth had
overpaid its GST on casino tax because it paid GST on international commission
business tax.
(1) Given that
the state did reimburse all GST paid by Crown, has the state recovered any
overpayment of GST from the Australian Taxation Office?
(2) If yes,
how much has been recovered in each financial year since the state agreed to
reimburse all GST paid by Crown?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question. I answer on behalf of the Minister for Mental Health.
(1) Yes.
(2) The
Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor has advised that $18.852 million was
received in 2011–12 and $1.184 million was received in 2012–13.
