ISSUE:

Unclear basis for determining fees

This instrument sets various fees that may be charged in relation to an application for approval as a standard business sponsor under the Migration Regulations 1994. However, the ES gives no indication as to the basis on which the fees have been calculated or set. The committee's usual expectation where an instrument of delegated legislation introduces or changes a fee (or charge, levy or scale of costs as the case may be) is that the relevant ES makes clear the basis on which the new or changed fee has been calculated. The committee therefore requests further information from the minister.
