7 Method of ascertaining carrier licence charge – other carrier licences

where:

MCA (maximum charge amount) is $44,226,554.

Note: This amount is the total sum of the amounts determined under subsection 15(1) of the Act.

OTC (other telecommunications costs) is $5,573,385.

Note: This amount relates to costs that:

Note: (a) are part of the proportion of the ACMA’s costs for the 2013–2014 financial year that is attributable to the ACMA’s telecommunications functions and powers; and

Note: (b) have been recovered from telecommunications charges (other than annual carrier licence charges) or that the ACMA considers are not appropriate to recover from carriers because of the nature of the activities with which the costs are associated.

Note: (The amount determined to be the proportion of the ACMA’s costs for the 2013–2014 financial year that is attributable to the ACMA’s telecommunications functions and powers is $19 860 799 — see section 5 of the Telecommunications (Specification of Costs by the ACMA) Determination 2015.)

ER (eligible revenue), for the carrier, is the corresponding amount mentioned in the item in Schedule 1.

Note: This amount is the eligible revenue of the carrier for the 2013–2014 financial year as assessed by the ACMA under subsection 96(1) of the TUSMA Act. Assessments of eligible revenue for the 2013-14 financial year continue to have effect notwithstanding the repeal of the TUSMA Act – see sub-item 151(2) of Part 4 of Schedule 1 to the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (Deregulation) Act 2015.

TER (total eligible revenue) is $27 762 384 927.

Note: This amount is the total sum of the eligible revenue of all the carriers named in Schedule 1 for the 2013–2014 financial year as assessed by the ACMA under subsection 96(1) of the TUSMA Act. Assessments of eligible revenue for the 2013-14 financial year continue to have effect notwithstanding the repeal of the TUSMA Act – see sub-item 151(2) of Part 4 of Schedule 1 to the Telecommunications Legislation Amendment (Deregulation) Act 2015.
