19 Payment for each financial year

(1) A payment under this scheme is payable for each financial year, from the commencing year, that begins after a claim under Part 5 was made. (2) In identifying a book’s commencing year, the Committee may have regard to the date of first or other publication of the book recorded in an entry about the book set out in the National Bibliographic Database.

Note 1: Subsection 21(1) does not prevent approval of a publishers’ public lending right payment for an eligible book for a financial year if transfer of the publisher’s rights to the book occurred in that financial year: see s 9(4) and 21(3).

Note 2: A payment for a financial year that does not proceed because of s 27 is taken not to have been payable for that financial year and payments for later financial years are not to be made, unless s 27(7) applies: see s 27(6).
