(3) For the purposes of determining any amount in accordance with these Regulations, other than an amount of net tax that is required by these Regulations to be determined in accordance with subsection 225(1) of the Act, the following rules apply:

• (a) where at any time a supplier, in full or partial consideration for a supply of property or a service, accepts a coupon, voucher or other device (other than a gift certificate) that may be exchanged for the property or service or that entitles the recipient of the supply to a reduction of, or a discount on, the price of the property or service, and the supplier is entitled to be paid by another person an amount for the redemption of the coupon, voucher or device, the coupon, voucher or device shall be deemed to be consideration for the supply and tax calculated on that consideration shall be deemed to have become collectible, and to have been collected, at that time;

• (b) where the consideration for a supply shown in the invoice in respect of the supply may be reduced if the amount thereof is paid within a time specified in the invoice and that consideration is so reduced, the consideration for the supply shall be deemed to be equal to the reduced amount of consideration and the total tax collected or collectible in respect of the supply shall be deemed to be equal to the tax calculated on the reduced amount of consideration;

• (c) if consideration, or a part of it, for a taxable supply (other than a supply by way of sale of real property) made by a supplier in the course of activities engaged in by the supplier in a branch or division of the supplier becomes due, or is paid without having become due, to the supplier at a time when the branch or division is a small supplier division (within the meaning of subsection 129(1) of the Act), that consideration or part, as the case may be, is deemed not to be consideration for a taxable supply; and

• (d) if property or a service is acquired by a person for consumption, use or supply in the course of activities engaged in by the person in a branch or division of the person and, at a time when the branch or division is a small supplier division (within the meaning of subsection 129(1) of the Act), an amount becomes due, or is paid without having become due, by the person for the supply of the property or service to the person, the amount shall not be included in determining the purchase threshold under subsection 21.1(3) for any fiscal year of the person.
