Lotteries (Fees)
Determination 2015 (No 2)
Disallowable Instrument DI2015–300
made under the  
Lotteries Act 1964, section 18A (Determination of Fees)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Lotteries Act 1964 (the Act) provides for the approval and regulation of lotteries in the Territory.

This instrument revokes the determination of fees made by Disallowable Instrument 
DI2015-155 notified on the Legislation Register on 18 June 2015.

Section 18A of the Act provides that the Commission may determine fees for the Act.  This instrument provides for fees in relation to applications to the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission (the Commission) for approval to conduct lotteries in the Australian Capital Territory.

This instrument removes the fees that had previously applied under DI2015-155 to trade promotion lotteries with a total prize value of $3,000 or less which are now considered exempt lotteries under Disallowable Instrument DI2015-301.  A comparison of the previous schedule of fees for trade promotion lotteries and those made in this instrument is included as an Attachment to this Explanatory Statement.

The new instrument does not change the types of fees that may be charged in comparison to the revoked instrument.

A determination under section 18A is a disallowable instrument and must be tabled in the Legislative Assembly.

The instrument is effective the day after notification.
