34B Administrative assessment for child support period started by new agreement when support already payable
(1) The Registrar must assess the annual rate of child support payable for a child for a day in a child support period if: (a) the Registrar accepts a child support agreement made in relation to the child; and (b) child support is already payable by a parent for the child under an administrative assessment; and (c) the agreement is to affect the annual rate of child support payable for the child. The Registrar must assess the annual rate immediately after accepting the agreement.
Note: Section 95 explains how the provisions of the agreement affect the assessment.
