Therapeutic Goods Regulations 1990

For paragraph 44(1)(a) of the Act, an annual registration charge, annual listing charge or annual charge for inclusion in the Register for a financial year becomes payable:

if the person who is liable to pay the charge notifies the Secretary, under regulation 43AAF or 43AAGE, that the person’s turnover of the therapeutic goods concerned for the financial year will not be of low value—on the last day of the month commencing after the month in which the notification was given; or

if the person who is liable to pay the charge does not give the Secretary a declaration relating to the person’s turnover of the therapeutic goods concerned for the financial year, in accordance with whichever of regulation 43AAC, 43AAD, 43AAGB or 43AAGC is applicable—on 15 September in the next financial year.

For subparagraph 44(1)(b)(ii) of the Act, an annual registration charge, annual listing charge or annual charge for inclusion in the Register for a financial year becomes payable on 15 September in that year.

A person is not liable to pay an annual registration charge, annual listing charge or annual charge for inclusion in the Register for a financial year if:

the person is exempt from liability to pay the charge for that financial year under Subdivision 2; or

the Secretary has waived the charge for that financial year under regulation 43AAH.

This regulation is subject to subsection 44(3) of the Act. That subsection provides that the Secretary may, by notice in writing given to a person, specify a later day on which a charge becomes payable by the person for a financial year.
