#### 23 CRICOS annual registration charge
(1) If a registered provider is liable to pay CRICOS annual registration charge for a year, the Secretary must give the registered provider a written notice (the first notice) that:
(a) specifies the amount of the charge payable by the provider; and
(b) determines that the amount is due for payment at the end of the 30‑day period beginning on the day after the first notice is given to the provider.
> Note: CRICOS annual registration charge is imposed by section 5 of the Education Services for Overseas Students (Registration Charges) Act 1997.
(2) If the registered provider did not pay the amount of CRICOS annual registration charge at or before the time when it became due for payment, the Secretary must give the provider a written notice (the second notice) that:
(a) specifies the amount of the charge payable by the provider; and
(b) states that the provider must pay that amount by the end of the 7‑day period beginning on the day after the second notice is given to the provider; and
(c) sets out the effect of section 90.
> Note: Section 90 provides that the provider’s registration is automatically suspended if the provider does not comply with the second notice.
(3) If:
(a) the registered provider fails to comply with the second notice; and
(b) the Secretary is not the ESOS agency for the provider;
the Secretary must notify the ESOS agency for the provider of the failure.
(4) A notice under this section is not a legislative instrument.
