EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS (TEST PERMIT TAX) REGULATIONS STATUTORY RULE NO. 277 OF 1987
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR LAND TRANSPORT AND INFRASTRUCTURE SUPPORT
Section 9 of the Radiocommunications (Test Permit Tax) Act 1983 (“the Act”) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations prescribing the amount of tax payable in respect of the grant of a test permit pursuant to section 10 of the Radiocommunications Act 1983. Section 7 of the Act stipulates that the amount of such tax is an amount to be ascertained in accordance with the regulations.
The amount of tax payable was previously $55. In accordance with decisions made by the Government in the Budget context, the amount of tax has been increased in line with inflation. The amount of $55 has therefore been increased to $59.
The regulations will commence on 1 December 1987.
