must be varied so that the Supplier's net dollar margin in respect of the supply remains the same.

represents the value of the supply for which payment is to be made.

credit to which the payee is entitled in respect of the reimbursable expense ("net expense").

13(c) or the net expense by virtue of Clause 13(d), then the party liable to pay for the taxable supply must also pay the amount of any GST payable
in respect of the taxable supply at the time the consideration for the taxable supply is payable.

(g) If the amount of GST paid or payable by the Supplier on any supply made under this document differs from the amount paid by the Supplier as
GST, due to an adjustment of the value of the taxable supply for the purpose of calculating GST, then the amount paid as GST by the Customer
must be adjusted by a payment by the Customer to the Supplier or by the Supplier to the recipient, as the case requires, so that the amount paid
by the recipient as GST accurately represents the GST payable in respect of the supply.
