made under the
Rates and Land Tax Act 1926, s 36 Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This determination of fees takes effect from 1 July 2003.  It retains the current level of fees set under an Administrative Order of 12 July 1999.  That Administrative Order will not operate from 1 July 2003.

Under section 36 of the Rates and Land Tax Act 1926 (“Act”) the Minister has authority to determine, in writing by disallowable instrument, fees under the Act.  

From 1 July 2003, section 34B of the Act allows for a fee to be determined for the issue of a Conveyancing Certificate.  Similarly, section 34C of the Act allows for a fee to be determined for the issue of a Statement of Account.

A Conveyancing Certificate details assessed and payable rates, land tax (including penalty tax), interest, costs, expenses and other amounts with respect to a parcel of land.

A Statement of Account details transactions for a financial year with respect to rates, land tax and other amounts for a parcel of land.

This disallowable instrument determines the fees to accompany an application for the issue of a Conveyancing Certificate at $30 and a Statement of Account at $20.
