Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2016-10-13.
This bill sets out how the government would collect new levies from employers of seafarers.
Employers would have to submit quarterly returns and payments, and face late payment penalties if they do not pay.
The money collected would go to Comcare and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, replacing older laws from 1992.
- Employers of seafarers must lodge quarterly returns and pay levies based on the number of seafarer berths on a prescribed vessel.
- Late payment penalties apply if the levy is not paid.
- Authorised persons may access premises and books to examine matters relating to a seafarer's berth for which a levy is or may be payable.
Employers of seafarers, the Safety Rehabilitation and Compensation Commission, Comcare, and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
