Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal Proclamation made by the Governor-General under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009.

What it does: It sets the official start date (commencement date) for Parts 2 to 5 of the Act. These sections began operating on 1 March 2010.

Why this matters: Many laws don't begin immediately when Parliament passes them. Instead, they need a separate official notice (a "Proclamation") to specify when they actually take effect. This document is that official notice, activating the main operational sections of the Tax Agent Services Act nearly five months after it was signed.

Key details:

Signed and sealed on 25 November 2009
Made by the Governor-General on the advice of the Federal Executive Council
Authorized by section 1-5(1) of the Act (the provision allowing the Governor-General to set start dates for different parts of the law)
