Primary Industry Funding Schemes (Grain Industry Research and Development Fund) Regulations 2024

A grain grower may, by notice in writing to the Minister, within the 12 months following a financial year in respect of which contributions have been paid on behalf of the grain grower (whether paid under these regulations or the repealed regulations), make a claim for a refund in respect of those contributions.

A grain grower claiming a refund under subregulation (1) must supply the Minister with—

evidence acceptable to the Minister of the contributions made on behalf of the grain grower in respect of which the claim for refund is made;

and

if required by the Minister, verification of that evidence in the form of a statutory declaration.

If the grain grower satisfies the Minister that the grain grower is entitled to a refund, the Minister must refund to the grain grower the amount of contributions paid on behalf of the grain grower in respect of grain sold during the relevant financial year.
