A licensee must pay to the Treasurer, in respect of each financial year during which the licensee holds a distributor’s licence, the levy determined in respect of that year by order of the Governor, on the recommendation of the Treasurer, applying to the licensee and published in the Gazette.

(2)

The Treasurer, in recommending the amount of a levy for a financial year payable by a licensee, must be satisfied that the amount reasonably represents the amount by which the network income (as estimated by the Treasurer) of the licensee in that year is likely to exceed the sum of the amounts (as estimated by the Treasurer) to be—

• (a)

  the costs of deriving the income, and

• (b)

  the taxes payable in deriving that income, and

• (c)

  a reasonable return on the capital of the licensee used in deriving that income,

having regard to—

• (a)

  must be published in the Gazette before the beginning of a year to which it applies, and

• (b)

32ECeasing to be a licensee during a year(1)

If a person ceases to be a licensee during a financial year, the amount of levy payable by the licensee may be adjusted by order of the Governor, applying to the licensee and published in the Gazette, having regard to the length of the portion of that financial year that the distributor’s licence was in force.

(2)

Such a person is entitled to a refund of any money paid in excess of the amount of the levy as so adjusted.

(3)

However, a person does not, by ceasing to be a licensee, cease to be liable to a levy, or to a variation of a levy under section 32C, in respect of any period during which the person was a licensee.

(4)

Accordingly, a reference in this Division to a licensee includes a reference to a former licensee, but without making the former licensee liable to a levy in respect of any period after the person ceased to be the holder of a distributor’s licence.

(5)

The other sections of this Division apply for the purpose of calculating an adjustment referred to in subsection (1) or a variation referred to in subsection (3) as if references in those sections to a financial year were references to the portion of the financial year during which the distributor’s licence was in force.

ss 32C–32E: Ins 1997 No 36, Sch 1 [1].

32FPayment and recovery of levy(1)

The levy in respect of a financial year is payable at such times (whether during or after that year) and in such manner as are—
