Race and Sports Bookmaking (Fees) Determination 2006 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2006–
made under the  
Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001, section 97 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Race and Sports Bookmaking Act 2001 (the Act) regulates the activities of race and sports bookmakers within the ACT.

This instrument revokes DI2001-260 dated 4 September 2001 and notified on the Legislation Register on 7 September 2001.

Section 97 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for the fees for the licensing arrangements of race bookmakers, race bookmaker’s agents, sports bookmakers and sports bookmaker’s agents.

This instrument increases fees on the basis of the Wage Price Index estimates for 2006-07.  In all cases the fees have been increased by 3.7% with each figure being rounded up to the nearest $5.  A comparative table indicating the previous and revised fees is included at Attachment A.

The list of revised fees contained in this instrument is identical to the list of fees in disallowable instrument DI2004-260 except the annual sports bookmaking licence fee made pursuant to section 26(1) of the Act is now due on 1 July of each year rather than the previous date of 15 July.  This makes the renewal date consistent with the other annual fees under this Act.  As existing sports bookmaking licensees have already paid up their annual licence fees until 14 July 2006, the applicable fee for the 2006-07 financial year is a pro rata of the annual fee and is noted as such in the schedule at section 26(1).

All fees are exempt from GST under Division 81 of the
A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cwlth).

A determination under section 97 is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
