Salvage value taxation: GST applies when insurer acquires salvage on full claim settlement, otherwise not. GST attaches only where a supply exists. If the insurer deducts salvage/wreck value from the claim (per contract), ownership of salvage remains with the insured and no GST liability arises for the insurer. If the insurer pays full claim amount without deducting salvage so that salvage vests in the insurer, the insurer must discharge GST on disposal or sale of the salvage.
