72AFees for licences

#### 72A Fees for licences (1) For section 164 of the Code, this regulation prescribes matters relating to fees payable in respect of licences issued under Part 8 of the Code. Fee for licence application (2) The fee payable for an application for the issue of a licence is $900. Annual licence fee (3) The holder of a licence must pay an annual licence fee, for each financial year in which the licence is held, as follows: (a) for a category 1 licence—$7 500; (b) for a category 2, 3 or 4 licence—$5 000; (c) for a category 6 licence—$1 800; (d) for a multi‑category licence—$7 500. (4) However, if a licence is issued on a date other than on 1 July in a financial year, the annual licence fee payable for the first financial year of the licence is a pro rata amount of the fee mentioned for the licence in subregulation (3) for the number of whole months of the financial year remaining on the date the licence is issued. (5) The annual licence fee payable for a licence for the second financial year, and each subsequent financial year, in which the licence is held is reduced by 50% if the licence holder gives the APVMA satisfactory evidence that the total notional wholesale value of the chemical products manufactured under the licence in the previous financial year was less than $50 000. (6) If a licence is not in force on 1 July of a financial year because the licence is suspended: (a) an annual licence fee is not payable for the licence for that financial year unless the suspension is revoked later in the financial year; and (b) the amount payable is a pro rata amount of the fee mentioned for the licence in subregulation (3) for the number of whole months of the financial year remaining on the date of the revocation. (7) The annual licence fee is payable on receipt of an invoice for the fee issued by the APVMA. Fee for variation of licence (8) An additional fee of $1 800 is payable in respect of a licence if: (a) the holder of the licence requests that the APVMA vary the licence; and (b) the APVMA determines that a GMP audit is required in order to assess the request. (10) In this regulation: > GMP audit has the meaning given by paragraph 61(8)(a). > notional wholesale value has the same meaning as in the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemical Products (Collection of Levy) Act 1994. (11) In subregulation (5): (a) the notional wholesale value of a batch of a veterinary chemical product is the notional wholesale value at the time of completion of manufacture of the batch; and (b) a reference to the chemical products manufactured does not include veterinary products that are prescribed under regulation 59 for the purposes of section 120A of the Code. > Note: Section 3 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemical Products (Collection of Levy) Act 1994 has the following definition: > Note: “notional wholesale value, in relation to a chemical product at a particular time, means the amount that the APVMA determines would have been received: (a) if the product is an Australian product—by the manufacturer; or (b) if the product is an imported product—by the importer; > Note: in respect of the product if, at that time, the product had been sold by the manufacturer or importer, as the case may be, by wholesale to a person with whom the manufacturer or importer was dealing at arm’s length.”
