Can you not show the books and agreements to prove the price charged and correlate it with the computation of the GST benefit that has been received?

AI Summary

Anti-profiteering compliance: builders should document price adjustments and invoices to demonstrate benefits passed to customers. Anti-profiteering enquiry concerns a builder who charged sale prices inclusive of GST despite agreements stating prices exclusive of GST, and who has produced agreements, sale deeds and tax invoices to show a price reduction. The key issue is whether documentary evidence and books can be correlated with a computation demonstrating the benefit was passed through to customers, while allegations about lack of written consent remain an evidentiary contention.
