This charge was originally scheduled to end on **1 July 1976**. This Amendment Act changes that end date to **1 March 1976** instead.\n\n**Who it affects**\n- Meat exporters who were paying the charge under the 1973 Act\n- The charge effectively stops four months earlier than planned\n\n**Why it matters**\nThis saves exporters from paying the charge between March and July 1976, reducing costs for the meat export industry during that period."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/meat-export-charge-amendment-act-1976","history":"/api/acts/meat-export-charge-amendment-act-1976/history","analysis":"/api/acts/meat-export-charge-amendment-act-1976/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/meat-export-charge-amendment-act-1976/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/meat-export-charge-amendment-act-1976/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/meat-export-charge-amendment-act-1976/documents"}}
