Electoral Act 1992

If an entity is an associated entity at any time during a financial year, the entity’s financial controller must give the commissioner a return not later than 31 August after the end of the financial year.

Note For how a return may be given, see Legislation Act 2001, pt 19.5.

The return must state—

the amount received by, or on behalf of, the entity during the financial year, together with the particulars required by section 232 (2) (Amounts received); and

the amount paid by, or on behalf of, the entity during the financial year; and

if the entity is an associated entity at the end of the financial year—the outstanding amount, at the end of the year, of debts incurred by, or on behalf of, the entity, together with the particulars required by section 234 (2) (Outstanding amounts).

An amount received when the entity was not an associated entity is not to be counted for subsection (2) (a) and (b).

If an amount required to be stated under subsection (2) (b) was—

paid to or for the benefit of 1 or more parties or MLAs; and

paid out of funds generated from capital of the entity;

the return must set out the required details of each person who contributed to that capital on or after 29 November 1996.

For subsection (4), the required details of a person are—

the person’s name and address; and

the total of the person’s contributions to the capital of the associated entity mentioned in that subsection up to the end of the financial year.

Subsection (5) does not apply to contributions that have been included in a previous return under this section.
