GST And Chocolate Body Paint
The ATO officer who wrote ID 2004/38 definitely has no life. A Taxpayer wrote to the ATO asking if the Chocolate Body Paint it manufactured was subject to GST. The Taxpayer’s argument being that as it was food it should be exempt. The ATO responded by saying that in order to be exempt as food the substance must not only be food but must be used as food. The ATO further went on to site the fact that a paint brush etc was supplied meant that it was not being sold as food.
My question is, why would a person cover themselves in sticky chocolate if it wasn’t in the hope that someone would consume it?

Perhaps he is a diabetic and thinks that if he cannot have fun then why should others.
The manufacturer on the other hand clearly hasn’t heard of the saying ‘Let sleeping dogs lie’.
As chocolate IS a food why even bother posing the question ?
Him supplying a brush with the goods is merely to make things easier for those people who like to spread it thin and make it last.
Anyway Julia, I am sure there is no shortage of chocolate lovers (both male or female) on this site.
