Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This short Act converts certain maritime fees and charges referred to in section 37 of the Port Authorities Act 1999 into an imposed tax, but only to the extent those amounts could be characterised as a tax (s3). It commences on Royal Assent (s2). Maritime users pay the charges set and collected by port authorities under the Port Authorities Act; the law changes the legal character of those charges, affecting who bears the cost, enforcement and constitutional/legal treatment (see s3).
