These sections began operating on **1 March 2010**.\n\n**Why this matters:**\nMany laws don't begin immediately when Parliament passes them. Instead, they need a separate official notice (a \"Proclamation\") to specify when they actually take effect. This document is that official notice, activating the main operational sections of the Tax Agent Services Act nearly five months after it was signed.\n\n**Key details:**\n- Signed and sealed on **25 November 2009**\n- Made by the Governor-General on the advice of the Federal Executive Council\n- Authorized by section 1-5(1) of the Act (the provision allowing the Governor-General to set start dates for different parts of the law)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tax-agent-services-act-2009-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/tax-agent-services-act-2009-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tax-agent-services-act-2009-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tax-agent-services-act-2009-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tax-agent-services-act-2009-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tax-agent-services-act-2009-proclamation/documents"}}
