Part 1 Preliminary
1 Name of Guidelines [see Note 1]
These Guidelines are the ACIS Administration (Modulation) Guidelines 2006.
2 Commencement
These Guidelines commence on 1 January 2006.
3 Objects and purpose — modulating credit
Modulation of credit
(1) These Guidelines set out how the following kinds of credit are to be modulated:
(a) unmodulated investment credit issued to MVPs;
(b) unmodulated investment credit issued to non–MVPs;
(c) unmodulated capped production credit.
Note The kinds of credit are mentioned in subsection 55 (1) of the Act.
(2) The purpose of modulating the credit is to ensure that:
(a) the funding cap for ACIS Stage 2 is not exceeded; and
(b) the limits on the MVP and non–MVP funding pools, into which the total ACIS Stage 2 funding is divided, are not exceeded.
Note The funding cap for ACIS Stage 2 is set out in subsection 53 (1) of the Act. The division of the total ACIS Stage 2 funding is required by subsection 53 (2) of the Act.
Limiting totals for 5% sales limit
(3) These Guidelines also set out how the total of the following kinds of credit are to be limited for each participant, and in respect of each ACIS year, to ensure that the 5% of sales limit mentioned in section 54 of the Act is not exceeded:
(a) modulated credit;
(b) unmodulated uncapped production credit;
(c) unmodulated type J investment credit.
Note Unmodulated type J investment credit is issued in accordance with the Scheme mentioned in section 60A of the Act.
4 Definitions
In these Guidelines:
Act means the ACIS Administration Act 1999.
business plan credits means the total of all credits or particular credits, as the case may be, for all remaining quarters of ACIS Stage 2 worked out using particulars collected from annual business plan updates provided in accordance with section 109 of the Act.
ceiling rate means the rate worked out in accordance with Part 4.
Note The ceiling rate is applied to limit the total of all ACIS credit issued to a participant in an ACIS year so that, as required by section 54 of the Act, the total ACIS credit issued to a participant does not exceed 5% of the sales value of the participant’s ACIS goods and services in the preceding year.
final year means the year starting on 1 January 2010.
Note This is the start of the final year of ACIS Stage 2.
MVP modulation rate means the modulation rate for MVPs worked out in accordance with section 11.
Note 1 The MVP modulation rate is applied in order to modulate:
Note: (a) unmodulated investment credit issued to MVPs; and
Note: (b) unmodulated capped production credit issued to MVPs.
Note 2 The MVP modulation rate is used to modulate an amount of credit, in relation to an MVP, to ensure that the funding for Stage 2 of ACIS mentioned in section 53 of the Act, and reserved in the MVP pool, is not exceeded.
MVP pool means the amount of ACIS Stage 2 funding that is reserved to provide assistance solely for MVPs.
Note The MVP pool is 55% of the total ACIS Stage 2 funding mentioned in section 53 of the Act.
MVP unearned credit liability means a liability imposed in relation to an MVP under the ACIS (Unearned Credit Liability) Act 1999.
Note This liability must be returned to the MVP pool.
non–MVP means a participant who is not an MVP.
non–MVP modulation rate means the modulation rate for non‑MVPs worked out in accordance with section 12.
Note The non‑MVP modulation rate is used to modulate an amount of credit, in relation to a non‑MVP, to ensure that the funding for Stage 2 of ACIS mentioned in section 53 of the Act, and reserved in the non‑MVP pool, is not exceeded.
non–MVP pool means the amount of ACIS Stage 2 funding that is reserved to provide assistance solely for non–MVPs.
Note The non‑MVP pool is 45% of the total ACIS Stage 2 funding mentioned in section 53 of the Act.
non–MVP unearned credit liability means a liability imposed in relation to a non‑MVP under the ACIS (Unearned Credit Liability) Act 1999.
Note This liability must be returned to the MVP pool.
remaining ACIS year means a year that includes at least 1 remaining quarter.
remaining quarter, in relation to the determination of an MVP modulation rate or a non‑MVP modulation rate, means a quarter in an ACIS year for which modulated credit has not been issued to participants as duty credit at the time of determining the MVP modulation rate or the non‑MVP modulation rate.
total expected capped credit means the total expected capped credit, adjusted for the 5% of sales limit, worked out in accordance with section 13.
total expected uncapped credit, for a participant for an ACIS year, is worked out under section 13.
total limited credit means the total of all credit mentioned in section 54 of the Act to which the ceiling rate has been applied.

Part 3 Determination of modulation rates
Division 1 Modulation rates for a quarter
10 Definitions for Division 1
In this Division:
total expected capped and uncapped credit, for a participant for an ACIS year, means the sum of:
(a) the total amount of modulated credit and unmodulated type J investment credit that has been issued to the participant as duty credit during the ACIS year; and
(b) the total expected uncapped credit for the participant for the ACIS year; and
(c) the total expected capped credit for the participant for the ACIS year.
11 Modulation rate for a quarter (other than the final quarter) — MVP
(1) If a modulation rate for MVPs has been worked out for a quarter under this section, not later than the last day of the quarter on which a particular MVP is permitted to make a return for the quarter, that modulation rate is the modulation rate for the quarter for the MVP.
(2) If a modulation rate has not been worked out for the MVP for the quarter by that day, the modulation rate for the quarter is the modulation rate that was applicable for the preceding quarter.
Note Section 35 of the Act identifies the last day of the quarter on which an MVP is permitted to make a return for a quarter. It is intended that a modulation rate will be worked out for MVPs for a quarter as soon as practicable before that day.
(3) The following amounts must be worked out for the MVP for each remaining quarter (other than the final quarter):
(a) the expected unmodulated uncapped production credit;
(b) the expected unmodulated capped production credit;
(c) the expected unmodulated investment credit;
(d) the expected unmodulated type J investment credit.
Note These are worked out using section 6 of the Act.
(4) The total expected capped credit must be worked out for the MVP for each remaining ACIS year.
(5) The 5% of sales limit must be worked out for the MVP for each remaining ACIS year.
Note This is worked out using Part 5.

12 Working out modulation rate for a quarter (other than the final quarter) — non–MVP
(1) If a modulation rate for non‑MVPs has been worked out for a quarter under this section, not later than the last day of the quarter on which a particular non–MVP is permitted to make a return for the quarter, that modulation rate is the modulation rate for the quarter for the non‑MVP.
(2) If a modulation rate has not been worked out for the non–MVP for the quarter by that day, the modulation rate for the quarter is the modulation rate that was applicable for the preceding quarter.
Note Section 35 of the Act identifies the last day of the quarter on which a non–MVP is permitted to make a return for a quarter. It is intended that a modulation rate will be worked out for non–MVPs for a quarter as soon as practicable before that day.
(3) The following amounts must be worked out for the non–MVP for each remaining quarter (other than the final quarter):
(a) the expected unmodulated investment credit;
(b) the expected unmodulated type J investment credit.
Note These are worked out using section 6 of the Act.
(4) The total expected capped credit must be worked out for the non–MVP for each remaining ACIS year.
(5) The 5% of sales limit must be worked out for the non–MVP for each remaining ACIS year.
Note This is worked out using Part 5.
(6) Work out capped limited credits for all non–MVPs for all remaining quarters of ACIS Stage 2 and add them together. The result is the total capped limited credit.
Note This is worked out using subsection 53 (2) of the Act and section 13.
(7) Work out the business plan credits for expected unmodulated investment credit for all non‑MVPs for all remaining quarters of ACIS Stage 2.
(8) The modulation rate is then worked out using the table.

(2) If, under subsection (1), the Secretary is to cause calculations to be revised, the revised calculations are:
(a) to be based, where possible, on known values or amounts instead of estimates or forecasts; and
(b) to ensure that neither the ACIS Stage 2 cap nor the 5% of sales limit for the participant’s ACIS goods and services for the relevant ACIS year (set out in section 54 of the Act) is exceeded.
(3) However the 5% of sales limit to be used for calculations under this section is the limit that was, or should have been, used at the time the original calculation was made.
(4) Also, the operation of a provision in this Part must not result in the rights of a person (other than the Commonwealth or an authority of the Commonwealth) being affected so as to disadvantage that person.
(5) In this section:
error includes the giving of information to the Secretary or a delegate of the Secretary if the information:
(a) is inaccurate or incomplete (including an overestimate or an underestimate); and
(b) relates to expected, estimated or forecast investment or production credit mentioned in section 13 that is consequently (either specifically or in aggregate) reflected in an entry in the ledger.
