Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal legal notice (a Proclamation) signed by the Governor-General that acts as a legal 'on switch' for specific tax laws.

What it does:

Sets 11 July 2013 as the commencement date (the day the law takes effect) for Parts 1 to 3 of Schedule 2 of the Tax Laws Amendment (2013 Measures No. 2) Act 2013.
Before this date, those specific tax rules existed on paper but had no legal force. After this date, they became active and enforceable.

Why it matters: Even after Parliament passes legislation, it often doesn't apply immediately. The government uses commencement proclamations like this one to control exactly when new tax obligations or benefits begin affecting businesses and individuals.
