Part 6 Correction of ledger
Correction of ledger
(1) If the Secretary determines, under section 68 of the Act, that there is an error in the ledger in relation to:
(a) a current registered participant; and
(b) an ACIS Stage; and
(c) a matter worked out under these Guidelines;
the Secretary may, under subsection 66 (2) or (3) of the Act (as the case requires):
(d) cause the calculations to be revised for the participant; and
(e) amend the ACIS ledger in relation to the participant and the participant’s duty credit accordingly.
(2) If, under subsection (1), the Secretary is to cause calculations to be revised, the revised calculations are:
(a) to be based, where possible, on known values or amounts instead of estimates or forecasts; and
(b) to ensure that neither the ACIS Stage 2 cap nor the 5% of sales limit for the participant’s ACIS goods and services for the relevant ACIS year (set out in section 54 of the Act) is exceeded.
(3) However the 5% of sales limit to be used for calculations under this section is the limit that was, or should have been, used at the time the original calculation was made.
(4) Also, the operation of a provision in this Part must not result in the rights of a person (other than the Commonwealth or an authority of the Commonwealth) being affected so as to disadvantage that person.
(5) In this section:
error includes the giving of information to the Secretary or a delegate of the Secretary if the information:
(a) is inaccurate or incomplete (including an overestimate or an underestimate); and
(b) relates to expected, estimated or forecast investment or production credit mentioned in section 13 that is consequently (either specifically or in aggregate) reflected in an entry in the ledger.
Part 7 Arrangements for ACIS year 2010
Application
(1) This Part applies in relation to registered participants for ACIS year 2010.
(2) If a provision of this Part modifies, or its operation has the effect of modifying, a provision of these Guidelines, the provision only applies as so modified in relation to ACIS year 2010.
Interpretation
In this Part, a reference to a modulation rate includes a reference to a modulation rate worked out in accordance with section 16 or 17 (as the case requires) as modified by this Part.
Calculations
If, under Division 2 of Part 3, the Secretary is to make calculations, the calculations are:
(a) to be based, where possible, on known values or amounts instead of forecasts; and
(b) to ensure that neither the ACIS Stage 2 cap nor the 5% of sales limit for the participant’s ACIS goods and services for the relevant ACIS year (set out in section 54 of the Act) is exceeded.
