Hawkers (Fees) Determination 2008 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI 2008 - 157
made under the
Hawkers Act 2003, section 45 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 45 of the Hawkers Act 2000 (the Act) permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2007 - 158) which set fees for the 2007-2008 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2008.

The determination increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimate for 2008-09 of 4.25%, consistent with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges.  The increased fees are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

By virtue of section 57(2) of the Legislation Act 2001 the fees mentioned in the determination are payable before the relevant licence, exemption etc is issued.

A person seeking a Hawkers Licence may be liable for more than one fee listed in item 1 depending on the circumstances of their proposed business operation.  The determination allows for the total amount payable at any one time by an applicant to be rounded down to the nearest dollar.

The determination takes effect on 1 July 2008.
