Carriers are required to pay fees to fund this service under the Telecommunications Act 1997. This instrument determines exactly how much ACMA will collect back from the industry through carrier licence charges to reimburse itself for those TIO payments. This affects carriers' regulatory cost obligations for that financial year."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-amounts-paid-under-section-136c-of-the-telecommunications-act-1997-de","history":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-amounts-paid-under-section-136c-of-the-telecommunications-act-1997-de/history","analysis":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-amounts-paid-under-section-136c-of-the-telecommunications-act-1997-de/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-amounts-paid-under-section-136c-of-the-telecommunications-act-1997-de/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-amounts-paid-under-section-136c-of-the-telecommunications-act-1997-de/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/telecommunications-recovery-of-amounts-paid-under-section-136c-of-the-telecommunications-act-1997-de/documents"}}
