It cancels six earlier sets of regulations made between 1985 and 1991 that established the Radiocommunications (Test Permit Tax) scheme.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\n- Telecommunications businesses and technicians who previously paid for test permits to use radio equipment\n- The communications regulator (now ACMA) responsible for administering permits\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThis removes a specific fee applied to testing radiocommunications devices, reducing costs for the industry. The repeal takes effect on **1 July 1993** (the end of 30 June 1993)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-test-permit-tax-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-test-permit-tax-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-test-permit-tax-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-test-permit-tax-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-test-permit-tax-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/radiocommunications-test-permit-tax-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
