This instrument sets when the registration status charge must be paid by registered migration agents who begin providing paid immigration assistance: it becomes due either as soon as the agent notifies the Migration Agents Registration Authority or at the start of the day after 14 days of providing commercial assistance (see s6). It commences 15 October 2020, applies to registration applications made on or after that date, and repeals the earlier Determination (IMMI 14/027).
