Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2017-03-30.
This bill would change the legal basis of fees paid by training organisations to the national regulator, converting them into a tax.
It would amend the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator (Charges) Act 2012 to impose an annual registration charge as a tax, replacing fees collected under the National Vocational Education and Training Regulator Act 2011.
The charge would be limited to no more than the likely costs of the regulator's functions, and the Ministerial Council's agreement would be required on the amount.
- Imposes an annual registration charge as a tax on registered training organisations and certain CRICOS providers.
- Validates annual registration fees collected by the Australian Skills Quality Authority before 1 July 2017.
- Requires the Ministerial Council's agreement on the amount of the charge.
Registered training organisations and certain CRICOS providers registered with the National VET Regulator.
