FINANCIAL SERVICES COMPENSATION SCHEME OF LAST RESORT LEVY ACT 2023 (NO. 44, 2023) - SECT 9

Imposition of special levy--revised estimate of claims, fees and costs exceeds the sub-sector levy cap and is to be spread across several sub-sectors etc.

                   Levy is imposed on a person for the second levy period or a later levy period if:

                     (a)  a revised claims, fees and costs estimate comes into force for the levy period and a sub-sector; and

                     (b)  as a result of that estimate, a determination comes into force under section 1069H of the Corporations Act 2001 that, under subsection 1069H(5) of that Act, specifies that levy needs to be imposed by this section:

                              (i)  for the levy period; and

                             (ii)  across all members of one or more specified sub-sectors (which need not include the sub-sector to which that estimate relates); and

                     (c)  at any time during the levy period or the previous levy period, the person is a member of one of the sub-sectors specified in that determination; and

                     (d)  the general conditions (if any) prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this paragraph are met for the person and the levy period.

Note 1:       Such a determination will only come into force if the Minister decides that special levy needs to be imposed across one or more other sub-sectors to deal with a revised claims, fees and costs estimate for a particular sub-sector that causes the sub-sector levy cap for that sub-sector to be exceeded.

Note 2:       Such a determination could be made instead of a determination that, under subsection 1069H(4) of the Corporations Act 2001 , specifies that special levy needs only to be imposed by subsection 8(3) of this Act for the levy period and the sub-sector to which the revised claims, fees and costs estimate relates.

Note 3:       Special levy can be imposed under this section more than once for the levy period and the sub-sector if more than one of these estimates, and determinations, come into force for the levy period.
