The following figure shows that businesses
are usually assigning EP – Exempt Purchase
or NR – Not Registered for clinic medical
expenses. Actually, there are facts to support
on when we use the correct tax code (EP or
NR) for the clinic medical fee. You may read
the summary below.
Even though it is not an offence or serious
wrong doing by using different tax code for
medical expenses, I would rather follow the
facts stated in the Act, regulations, guidelines
and DG’s decisions to assign proper tax code
for medical expenses.
on
I observe that many businesses and
organizations use different tax codes for
medical expenses due to their nature for GST
purpose.
