Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This agreement lets the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy keep specified "relevant receipts" (commercial and other non-tax receipts) and apply them to its annual budget instead of remitting them to consolidated revenue. It mainly affects the Department and public financial reporting, giving flexibility to fund operations from earned income while requiring strict record-keeping to stay within spending limits. The Finance Minister may vary or cancel the arrangement at any time.
