### sec.30B Statutory instrument may exempt from fee
If a power is conferred under a law for a statutory instrument to prescribe a fee, the power includes a power to—
exempt any person or matter from payment of all or part of the fee; or
waive payment of all or part of the fee for any person or matter; or
refund all or part of an amount of the fee paid by a person; or
provide for a stated person to grant an exemption, or make a waiver or refund, mentioned in paragraph (a) , (b) or (c) .
If—
a law requires payment of a fee prescribed under a statutory instrument by a person or for a matter; and
either—
the person or matter is exempted under the statutory instrument from payment of all or part of the fee; or
all or part of the fee is waived for the person or matter under the statutory instrument;
the requirement to pay the fee is taken to have been satisfied to the extent of the exemption or waiver.
A provision of a statutory instrument under which a fee is refunded, or a person may refund a fee, does not authorise the payment of an amount from the consolidated fund.
