income tax and any other taxes or imposts that the Commission does not pay to the Commonwealth but would be liable to pay under the law of the
Commonwealth if it were constituted and organised in such manner as the
Treasurer determines to be appropriate for the purposes of this subsection as a public company or group of public companies carrying on the business carried on by the Commission; and
rates that the Commission would be liable to pay to a council if the Commission were not an instrumentality of the Crown.
Amounts determined by the Treasurer to be payable under subsection (2) must be paid by the Commission at the times and in the manner determined by the Treasurer.
