Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a short piece of delegated legislation (called a Determination) made by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) — the predecessor to today’s Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

What it does: It fixes a specific dollar amount ($25,171,322) as the total cost the ACA incurred while regulating the telecommunications industry during the 2003‑2004 financial year.

Why it matters: Telecommunications carriers (phone and internet companies) must pay annual licence charges to the government. Under the Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997, those charges are calculated based on the regulator’s actual costs. This Determination sets the cost ‘base’ for the 2003‑04 year, which directly affects how much each carrier had to pay that year.

In plain terms: It is the official calculation of what the industry paid for being regulated in 2003‑04.
