(2) where the particular person is a registrant who is entitled to claim an input tax refund or a rebate of tax under Division I of Chapter VII in respect of the acquisition of the property or service, the particular person is deemed,(a) to have made a taxable supply of a service; and
(b) to have collected, at that time, tax in respect of the supply equal to the amount determined by the formula
