When a trustee collects money from a bankrupt estate, 4.7% of those funds must be paid to the Commonwealth as an administrative charge. The determination ensures the government receives revenue to cover the costs of regulating the bankruptcy system."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-estate-charges-amount-of-charge-payable-determination-2013","history":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-estate-charges-amount-of-charge-payable-determination-2013/history","analysis":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-estate-charges-amount-of-charge-payable-determination-2013/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-estate-charges-amount-of-charge-payable-determination-2013/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-estate-charges-amount-of-charge-payable-determination-2013/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/bankruptcy-estate-charges-amount-of-charge-payable-determination-2013/documents"}}
