Gaming Machine (Fees)
Determination 2007 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2007–121
made under the  
Gaming Machine Act 2004, section 177 (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Gaming Machine Act 2004 (the Act) regulates the operation of gaming machines in the Territory.

This instrument revokes the determination of fees made by Disallowable Instrument DI2006-112, notified on the Legislation Register on 20 June 2006.

Section 177 of the Act provides that the Minister may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for fees in relation to administrative tasks performed under the Act, including applications for licences, variations to those licences and to certificates issued by the Commission.

This instrument increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimates for 2007-08 of 4%.  Appropriate rounding has occurred in relation to the increases.  For the higher level fees this rounding has been taken to the nearest $5.  A comparative table indicating the previous and revised fees is included as an attachment to this Explanatory Statement.

The list of revised fees contained in this instrument is identical to the list of fees in the Disallowable Instrument DI2006-112.

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 177 is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.
