This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This Determination tells the ACMA and listed carriers exactly how to calculate the annual carrier‑licence charge for licences that were in force at the start of the 2010–11 financial year. It prescribes a numeric formula (including a $281 minimum, an aggregate cap, an "other telecommunications charge" adjustment and proportional allocation by eligible revenue) and a Schedule listing 177 carriers’ eligible revenues. It affects those 177 listed carriers, who must pay the amounts the ACMA calculates; the figure depends on ACMA cost and eligible‑revenue assessments in other statutory instruments.
