Federal Court held Item 1 Schedule C of P.U.(A) 210 applies to registered manufacturers in respect of taxable finished goods only; a registered manufacturer cannot claim exemption for taxable inputs used to produce tax‑exempt finished goods because that would defeat the single‑stage tax scheme and permit double exemption; onus is on taxpayer to prove entitlement; Littman/Ben‑Odeco principles apply to limit expansive readings of exemption provisions. The Court answered Question 1 in the negative and Questions 2 and 3 in the positive and reinstated the High Court decision.
