Liability to pay premiums
139 Liability to pay premiums
Subject to this Part, an employer will be liable to pay, in relation to each period specified by the RTWSA premium provisions or a RTWSA premium order that applies in relation to the employer, a premium or premiums in accordance with the requirements of this Act.
An employer—
who is a self‑insured employer; or
who is exempt from the requirement to be registered under
Division 1, is not required to pay a premium under this
Division.
A person who ceases to be an employer may be entitled to a partial refund of any premium that has been paid calculated in accordance with any relevant provision of the RTWSA premium provisions or a RTWSA premium order that applies in relation to the employer.
An employer who is in breach of the requirement to be registered under this Act will, in addition to any other penalty, be liable to a fine fixed by the Corporation not exceeding 3 times the amount of premium that would have been payable under this Act had the employer been registered as required.
The Corporation may for any proper reason remit a fine imposed under subsection (4) wholly or in
part.
The imposition of a fine under subsection (4) does not satisfy or affect any liability or requirement to pay any premium under this
Act.
Nothing in this section affects the adjustment of a premium or the imposition of a fine under another provision of this
Act.
