A Bill for an Act to impose dairy adjustment levy, so far
as that levy is a duty of customs
The Parliament of Australia enacts:
This Act may be cited as the Dairy Adjustment Levy (Customs) Act
2000.
This Act commences on 8 July 2000.
This
Act binds the Crown in right of each of the States and Territories.
In this Act:
leviable milk product has the same meaning as in Part 4 of
Schedule 2 to the Dairy Produce Act 1986.
(1) Levy that is payable under Division 2 of Part 4 of Schedule 2 to the
Dairy Produce Act 1986 is imposed under the name of dairy adjustment
levy.
(2) This section imposes levy only so far as that levy is a duty of
customs within the meaning of section 55 of the Constitution.
(1) The
rate of levy imposed by this Act is:
(a) 0.011 cents per ml of the leviable milk product concerned;
or
(b) if a lower rate is prescribed by the regulations—that lower
rate.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), if a leviable milk product is not
a liquid at 20oC, it is to be assumed that the volume of the product
were equal to the volume that would result if water were added to the product in
the ratio ascertained in accordance with the regulations.
(3) For the purposes of subsection (1), if a leviable milk product is a
product that, under the regulations, is taken to be a concentrate, it is to be
assumed that the volume of the product were equal to the volume that would
result if water were added to the product in the ratio ascertained in accordance
with the regulations.
(1) This Act has no effect to the extent (if any) to which it imposes a
tax on property of any kind belonging to a State.
(2) In this section, property of any kind belonging to a
State has the same meaning as in section 114 of the
Constitution.
(3) For the purposes of this section, it is to be assumed that a reference
in section 114 of the Constitution to a State includes a reference to the
Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory.
(1) The Governor-General may make regulations for the purposes of section
6.
(2) Before the Governor-General makes a regulation specifying a rate for
the purposes of paragraph 6(1)(b), the Minister must take into consideration any
relevant recommendation made to the Minister by the Dairy Adjustment
Authority.
