These Regulations may be cited as the Radiocommunications (Transmitter Licence Tax) Regulations.
Interpretation
(1) In these Regulations, unless the contrary intention appears—
“network” has the same meaning as in the Radiocommunications (Licensing and General) Regulations;
“service” means—
(a) AUSSAT service;
(b) Australian satellite service;
(c) Exterior paging service, Class A;
(d) Exterior paging service, Class B;
(e) Exterior paging service, Class C;
(f) Interior paging service;
(g) Internal television service;
(h) Telemetry service; or
(i) Trunked land mobile service.
(2) An expression specified in Column 2 of an item in the Schedule has the same meaning as in the Radiocommunications (Licensing and General) Regulations.
Amount of tax
3. (1) Subject to this regulation, the amount of tax in respect of the grant of a transmitter licence in respect of—
(a) a radiocommunications transmitter that constitutes one station;
(b) a radiocommunications transmitter that forms part of one station, being a station that includes one radiocommunications transmitter only;
(c) 2 or more radiocommunications transmitters that constitute one station;
(d) 2 or more radiocommunications transmitters that form part of one station, being a station that does not include any radiocommunications transmitter other than those transmitters;
(e) a radiocommunications transmitter used in the operation of a service, being a service that does not use any radiocommunications transmitter other than that transmitter; or
(f) 2 or more radiocommunications transmitters used in the operation of a service, being a service that does not use any radiocommunications transmitter other than those transmitters,
being a station known by an expression specified in Column 2 of an item in the Schedule, is an amount ascertained by reference to the period in respect of which the licence is granted at the rate per annum specified or referred to in Column 3 of that item.
(2) Subject to this regulation, the amount of tax in respect of the grant of a transmitter licence in respect of all of the radiocommunications transmitters forming part of a network is an amount ascertained by reference to the period in respect of which the licence is granted at the rate per annum of $3,742,000.
(3) Where—
(a) a transmitter licence is granted for a period of less than one year; and
(b) the amount of tax in respect of the grant of that licence would, but for this sub-regulation, be less than $30,
the amount of tax in respect of that licence is $30 or the amount for one year, whichever is the less.
(4) Notwithstanding sub-regulation (1), where—
(a) an application in respect of a transmitter licence is made by a person who is a member of a body corporate, or of an unincorporated body, that—
(i) is formed to provide recreation or amusement or to promote a charity;
(ii) is not carried on for the purpose of profit or gain to its individual members;
(iii) applies its profits (if any) or other income in promoting its objects; and
(iv) prohibits the making of any distribution, whether in money, property or otherwise, to its members;
(b) the application is in respect of a licence in respect of a transmitter that is to be operated—
(i) in connection with the activities of the organisation; and
(ii) otherwise than for reward or in connection with the operation of a business;
(c) the application is lodged by the organisation, together with not less than 24 other applications, each of which—
(i) is of the kind referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b); and
(ii) is in respect of the grant of a licence in respect of a period that commences on the same day; and
(d) the application, together with the amount of tax in respect of the grant of the licence, is lodged before the commencement of that period,
the amount of tax in respect of the grant of the licence is the amount that would, but for this sub-regulation, be applicable less an amount equal to 15% of that amount.
Tax in respect of grant of transmitter licence—fixed station, Class C
4. (1) The succeeding provisions of this regulation apply in ascertaining the rate per annum of tax in respect of the grant of a licence in respect of—
(a) a radiocommunications transmitter that operates in relation to a fixed station, Class C (high density location) referred to in Item 27 in the Schedule or a fixed station, Class C (low density location) referred to in Item 28 in the Schedule, being the only radiocommunications transmitter that operates in relation to that station; or
(b) 2 or more radiocommunications transmitters that operate in relation to a station referred to in paragraph (a), being all of the radiocommunications transmitters that operate in relation to that station.
(2) The rate per annum of tax referred to in sub-regulation (1) is an amount per annum, being—
(a) in the case of a transmitter, or transmitters, as the case requires, having one or more transmitting frequencies each of which has an occupied bandwidth not exceeding 10,000 kilohertz—an amount, or an amount
equal to the aggregate of the amounts, as the case requires; ascertained in accordance with sub-regulation (3) in respect of each such bandwidth;
(b) in the case of a transmitter, or transmitters, as the case requires, having one or more transmitting frequencies each of which has an occupied bandwidth exceeding 10,000 kilohertz—an amount ascertained in accordance with sub-regulation (4) in respect of the aggregate of the band widths of each such frequency; and
(c) in the case of a transmitter, or transmitters, as the case requires, having transmitting frequencies of the kinds referred to in both of paragraphs (a) and (b)— an amount equal to the aggregate of the amounts ascertained in accordance with each of those paragraphs.
(3) Where the bandwidth occupied by a transmitting frequency of a transmitter, or transmitters, referred to in paragraph (2) (a) is within a bandwidth range specified in Column 2 in the following table, the amount ascertained for the purposes of that paragraph is—
(a) where the transmitter operates, or transmitters operate, in relation to a fixed station, Class C (high density location) -in relation to the bandwidth range applicable to that transmitter, or those transmitters, as referred to in Column 2 of an item in the table, the amount specified in Column 3 of that item; and
(b) where the transmitter operates, or transmitters operate, in relation to a fixed station, Class C (low density location)—in relation to the bandwidth range applicable to that transmitter, or those transmitters, as referred to in Column 2 of an item in the table, the amount specified in Column 4 of that item.
