34C Administrative assessments for child support periods not started by application or new agreement

The Registrar must assess under this Act the annual rate of child support payable for a child for days in a child support period either before, or as soon as practicable after, the start of the period unless: (a) the period starts when the application is made under Part 4; or (b) the period starts on a day mentioned in paragraph 93(1)(g); or (c) an assessment of the child support payable for the child for days in the period has already been made as required by section 34A; or (d) the period starts on the first day for which a child support agreement described in subsection 34B(1) is to affect the annual rate of child support payable for the child.

Note 1: Section 31 requires the Registrar to make an assessment of child support payable as quickly as possible after accepting an application under Part 4.

Note 2: Subsection 93(2) requires the Registrar to make an assessment of child support payable as soon as practicable after accepting certain child support agreements.

Note 3: If a child support agreement has effect for the purposes of the child support period, it will affect the assessment (see section 95).
