LIVE-STOCK SLAUGHTER LEVY COLLECTION REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) 1991 NO. 67

STATUTORY RULES 1991 No. 67

Issued by Authority of the Minister of State for Primary Industries and Energy

Live-stock Slaughter Levy Collection Act 1964

Live-stock Slaughter Levy Collection Regulations (Amendment)

Section 16 of the Live-stock Slaughter Levy Collection Act 1964 empowers the Governor-General to make Regulations for the purposes of the Act and, in particular, provide for the manner of payment of levy.

It is proposed that an amendment be made to the principal Regulations which would have the effect of correcting a minor technical drafting error.

Amendments were made to the principal Regulations on 17 December (Statutory Rules 1990 No. 427) for the purpose of requiring that levy payers make payment to Canberra in lieu of Regional offices following the decision to centralise levy collection functions.

The amendment made to Regulation 4 should have included the words "(last occurring)" after the word "table".

This proposed amendment corrects the drafting error.
