State Debt Recovery Act 2018

The Chief Commissioner may, by notice served on a person by whom a grant debt is payable (a debt notice), require the person to pay to the Chief Commissioner that grant debt or any part of it that is unpaid.

The notice must specify the amount payable and the due date for payment.

The due date specified must not be less than 28 days after the notice is served on the person.

The amount is payable by that due date or by a later date specified by the Chief Commissioner.

A debt notice must inform the person that, if the amount payable is not paid by the due date—

debt recovery action may be taken under the State Debt Recovery Act 2018, and

that, if that action is taken, additional debt recovery costs may become payable under that Act.
