Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination sets the dollar amount that telecommunications carriers must pay to cover the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) regulatory costs for the 2011-12 financial year.

What it does:

Fixes the ACCC's telecommunications-related costs at $13,814,814 (approximately $13.8 million)
This amount represents the proportion of the ACCC's total operating budget spent on regulating phone and internet services

Why it matters: Under the Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997, phone and internet companies must pay annual licence charges to the government. These charges include a component to reimburse the ACCC for the costs of regulating the industry—such as monitoring competition, enforcing consumer protections, and overseeing network access. This instrument specifies the exact amount the ACCC spent on telecom regulation in 2011-12, which directly determines how much carriers are billed for that year's regulatory oversight.
