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 Charges Bills that would let the Commonwealth recover the costs of regulating waste material exports.
The package would set up a framework for imposing charges, but the actual amounts and who pays them would be decided later in regulations made by the Governor-General.
Three separate Acts are needed because the Constitution requires excise, customs and other taxation to be in different Acts.
- The Charges Bills would enable the Commonwealth to recover regulatory costs for waste material exports.
- The package would provide a framework for imposing charges, with amounts set by future regulations.
- The bills would ensure cost recovery mechanisms are in place for Commonwealth services related to regulated waste material.
Exporters of regulated waste material and the Commonwealth Government.
