Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: These regulations set the rate of a charge (a mandatory fee) that fruit canning businesses must pay to the government. The rate is fixed at 7 shillings and 6 pence for every ton of fruit processed into canned goods.

Who it affects: Companies operating fruit canneries in Australia (processing peaches, pears, apricots, etc.).

Why it matters: The money collected funds marketing and sales promotion activities designed to boost Australian canned fruit sales at home and overseas. The rate was specifically recommended by the Australian Canned Fruit Sales Promotion Committee, an industry body established to coordinate these promotional efforts.

Note on timing: Although signed on 7 December 1962, the regulations were backdated to take effect from 1 December 1962.
