Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation made by the Governor-General.

What it does: It sets 6 June 2006 as the date when Schedule 4 of the Tax Laws Amendment (2005 Measures No. 4) Act 2005 comes into force (starts being law).

Why this matters: Australian laws often pass through Parliament but don't start immediately. Instead, they contain a 'placeholder' allowing the Governor-General to announce the official start date later. This document is that official announcement — it effectively 'switches on' Schedule 4 of the tax law on the specified date.

Key details:

Made under section 2(1) of the Act (the provision allowing the Governor-General to set start dates)
Proclaimed on 1 June 2006, but Schedule 4 starts on 6 June 2006
Only affects Schedule 4 — other parts of the same Act may have started on different dates
