  (c)   the recipient is * registered or * required to be registered; and

  (d)   the supplier and the recipient agree that the GST on the supply be payable by the recipient.

  (2)   However, this section does not apply to:

  (b)   a taxable supply made by a * non - resident through a * resident agent; or

  (c)   a supply that is disregarded under paragraph   188 - 15(3)(b) or 188 - 20(3)(b) (which are about supplies of rights or options offshore).
