Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2020-08-27.
This bill is part of a package of three bills that would allow the Commonwealth to recover the costs of regulating waste exports.
The bills would create a framework for imposing charges, but the amounts and who pays them would be set later in regulations made by the Governor-General.
Three separate bills are needed because the Constitution requires excise, customs and other taxation to be in separate Acts.
- Enable the Commonwealth to recover costs of regulating certain waste material exports.
- Provide a framework for imposing charges, with amounts set by future regulations.
- Ensure appropriate cost recovery mechanisms for Commonwealth services related to regulated waste material.
Exporters of regulated waste materials and the Commonwealth Government.
