Clause 6

The Minister may by regulations provide —

that where the premium payable to an insurer under any contract of insurance is subject to tax at a rate specified under section 16, the insurer is deemed to have incurred input tax on any cash payment made by him upon the occurrence of an insured event and which is obligatory under that contract of insurance (referred to in this section as deemed input tax), except in such situation as the Minister may decide otherwise for the protection of revenue;

that any regulations made under paragraph (a) shall apply only where the contract of insurance is taken out by such person as may be prescribed;

for the determination of the amount of deemed input tax referred to in paragraph (a) and the period in which the deemed input tax is deemed to have been incurred;

for the adjustment of the amount of deemed input tax referred to in paragraph (a) where, after any cash payment referred to in that paragraph has been made, the insurer recovers such payment or any part thereof from any person (other than his re-insurer under a re-insurance contract);

for the determination of the amount of the adjustment referred to in paragraph (d), and the period in which such adjustment is to be made; and

for such incidental and supplementary matters as appear to the Minister necessary or expedient.(2) Where input tax is deemed to have been incurred under any regulations made under subsection (1), such deemed input tax shall, for the purposes of this Act, be treated as input tax within the meaning of section 19.”.
