Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation (official announcement) by the Governor-General that activates part of a tax law. Specifically, it declares that Schedule 12 of the Tax Laws Amendment (2007 Measures No. 5) Act 2007 will commence (take effect) on 27 September 2007.

Commencement proclamations are necessary because Acts—or specific parts (schedules) of Acts—often don't become enforceable immediately when passed by Parliament. They need a specific start date fixed by the Governor-General.

Key points:

This document does not create or change any tax rules itself
It simply switches on Schedule 12 of the Act on the specified date
The power to make this proclamation comes from section 2(1) of the parent Act
