Salvage value taxability clarified: insurers owe GST only when salvage becomes insurer property after full claim settlement. GST liability on salvage arises only when salvage vests in the insurance company. If claim settlement deducts salvage as a pre agreed deductible and ownership remains with the insured, the insurer has no GST liability on that deducted salvage. If the insurer settles full IDV without deducting salvage so that salvage becomes insurer property, the insurer must discharge GST on disposal/sale of the salvage.
