Licence fee
11Q Licence fee
A licensee must pay to the Authority the prescribed licence fee —
within one month from the day of grant or renewal of the licence; and
within one month from each anniversary of that day during the term of the licence.
Regulations made under section 26 may prescribe different licence fees for each of the classifications referred to in section 11D(1).
Without limiting section 45A of the Interpretation Act 1984, the fee prescribed under subsection (1) may be determined so as to allow the recovery by the State of retail competition implementation costs.
The operation of subsection (2a) extends to retail competition implementation costs that were incurred before the commencement of section 35 of the Energy Legislation Amendment Act 2003.
The Authority may recover any outstanding licence fee in a court of competent jurisdiction as a debt due by the licensee to the Crown.
In this section —
retail competition implementation costs means —
costs incurred for the purpose of developing and implementing policies intended to bring about a competitive retail gas market; and
costs incurred for any other prescribed purpose, being a purpose ancillary to the purpose mentioned in paragraph (a).
