Determination of rate
130 Determination of rate
The Minister may, by notice published in the Gazette, determine a rate that is chargeable for a financial year on land in a prescribed area.
The rate is for the purposes of the Declared Pest Account.
A rate determination must specify the land or the class of land on which the rate is chargeable.
Different rates may be determined in respect of different land and different classes of land.
The Minister may, in the exercise of the power under subsection (1), exempt land from the application of the rate.
To the extent (if any) that a rate is not a tax imposed by the Biosecurity and Agriculture Management Rates and Charges Act 2007, this Act imposes the rate.
The Interpretation Act 1984 section 42 applies to a rate determination as if the determination were a regulation.
