sec.110 Power to exempt
The AER may decide to exempt persons or classes of persons in accordance with the Rules from the requirement to hold a retailer authorisation. There are 3 kinds of exemptions provided for in the Rules, as follows: individual exemptions; deemed exemptions; registrable exemptions (which become registered exemptions in respect of particular persons when the persons are registered under the Rules). An exemption of a class of persons may be made so as to operate (subject to the terms of the exemption)— in respect of all the members of the class; or in respect only of those members of the class who are, on application, registered in the Public Register of Authorised Retailers and Exempt Sellers in relation to the exemption. A person is an exempt seller for the purposes of this Part while an exemption is in force in relation to the person.
