Section 30 of the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991, Section 8 of the National Residue Survey (Customs) Levy Act 1998 and Section 8 of the National Residue Survey (Excise) Levy Act 1998 provide that the Governor-General may make regulations prescribing matters required or permitted to be prescribed by the Acts, or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to the Acts.
The purpose of these regulations is to amend the definition of a 'month', 'quarter' and 'levy year' for aquatic animals, game animals, horse slaughter, onions and ratite slaughter. The amendment now identifies the start date of the September quarter and the 1998-1999 levy year as 1 August 1998. This date is consistent with the proclamation date for Section 2 and 3 of the National Residue Survey Administration Amendment Act 1998, and the proclamation date for the National Residue Survey (Customs) Levy Act 1998 and the National Residue Survey (Excise) Levy Act 1998
The Regulations would commence on 1 August 1998.
