National Residue Survey (Sheep, Lambs and Goats Export) Levy Act 1997
No. 222, 1997
An Act to impose National Residue Survey Levy on the export of sheep, lambs and goats from Australia, and for purposes dealing with the imposition of the levy
[Assented to 17 December 1997]
The Parliament of Australia enacts:
This Act may be cited as the National Residue Survey (Sheep, Lambs and Goats Export) Levy Act 1997.
This Act commences at the commencement of Part 3 of the Australian Meat and Live-stock Industry Act 1997.
(1) In this Act:
lamb and sheep have the same respective meanings as in the Live‑stock (Producers) Export Charges Act 1997.
(2) Unless the contrary intention appears, a word or expression has the same meaning in this Act as it has in the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991.
This Act binds the Crown in right of each of the States, of the Australian Capital Territory, of the Northern Territory and of Norfolk Island. However, it does not bind the Crown in right of the Commonwealth.
National Residue Survey Levy is imposed on the export of sheep, lambs or goats from Australia after the commencement of this Act if a charge is payable on the export of the sheep, lambs or goats from Australia under the Live-stock (Producers) Export Charges Act 1997.
(1) The rate of National Residue Survey Levy imposed by this Act on the export of each head of sheep or lambs is 2 cents or, if another amount (not exceeding 8 cents) is prescribed by the regulations, the other amount.
(2) The rate of National Residue Survey Levy imposed by this Act on the export of each head of goats is 3 cents or, if another amount (not exceeding 8 cents) is prescribed by the regulations, the other amount.
The National Residue Survey Levy imposed by this Act on the export of sheep, lambs or goats is payable by the person who is liable to pay the relevant charge under the Live-stock (Producers) Export Charges Act 1997 in respect of the sheep, lambs or goats.
The Governor-General may make regulations prescribing any matters:
(a) required or permitted by this Act to be prescribed; or
(b) necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this Act.
