Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Direction instructs the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) to set the transmitter-licence tax for PTS licences that authorise land stations in PMTS Class B (890–915 MHz or 935–960 MHz) at 2.5 times the tax that would otherwise apply after a 4.3% CPI increase. The ACA must determine and publish the amount before 22 May 2001 and the new rate takes effect on the gazettal date.

Holders of those PTS licences pay the higher tax. The Minister directs the ACA under subsection 12(1) of the ACA Act and the ACA implements the change under the Radiocommunications (Transmitter Licence Tax) Act 1983.
