Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This amendment updates how the Australian Wine Board receives growers’ levies, bringing payments collected under the new Wine Grapes Levy Collection Act 1979 and related laws into the Board’s funding rules. It also requires the Board to repay any amounts that were forwarded to it but later refunded to growers by the Commonwealth.

It primarily affects the Wine Board and levy-collecting Commonwealth agencies, fixing accounting mechanics so refunded levy money cannot be retained by the Board.
