Defence Legislation Amendment (Enhancement of the Reserves and Modernisation) Act 2001 (No. 10, 2001)

Schedule 1

3  Application of amendments

The amendments made by this Schedule apply in relation to all members of the Reserves, whether they became members of the Reserves before or after the Schedule commenced.

Schedule 2

88  Saving--appointments of Chiefs under the Defence Act

Although item 13 amends subsection 9BA(1) of the Defence Act 1903, that subsection continues to apply, in relation to a person who held an appointment under subsection 9(1) or 9AA(1) of that Act immediately before that item commenced, as if that amendment, and the repeal of Division 3 of Part II of that Act, had not happened.

89  Saving--other appointments under the Defence Act

Although item 14 repeals Divisions 2, 3 and 3A of Part II of the Defence Act 1903, those provisions continue to apply, in relation to a person who held an appointment under subsection 10(1) of that Act immediately before that item commenced, as if the repeal had not happened.

90  Saving--enlistments under the Defence Act

Although item 19 repeals sections 36 to 44A of the Defence Act 1903, those sections continue to apply, in relation to a person who was enlisted under subsection 36(3) of that Act immediately before that item commenced, as if the repeal had not happened.

93  Most of the old provisions may be superseded by new regulations

(1)       However, the repealed provisions mentioned in items 89, 90, 91 and 92 continue to apply under those items only to the extent that they are consistent with regulations made after the repeal for the purposes of section 124 of the Defence Act 1903.

(2)       If such regulations are made, then:

                     (a)  to the extent of the inconsistency, those provisions permanently cease to apply from the time that the inconsistency arises; and

                     (b)  the regulations apply despite being inconsistent with those provisions.

94  Saving--old regulations

(1)       Regulations that were in effect under any Act immediately before the commencement of this item continue to have effect after that time as if members of an arm of the Defence Force who were members of a particular part or component of that arm immediately before the commencement of this item were still members of that part or component after that time, even if that part or component no longer exists.

Example: Assume that, immediately before the commencement of this item, regulations imposed training obligations on members of the Air Force Specialist Reserve. Those obligations would continue to apply to former members of that Reserve after commencement, even though the Air Force Specialist Reserve itself is no longer mentioned in the Air Force Act 1923 and the members have now become members of the Air Force Reserve.

(2)       However, regulations that continue in effect under this item do so only to the extent that they are not amended or revoked by later regulations.

95  Regulations about transitional matters

(1)       The regulations may make provision in relation to other saving and transitional matters in connection with the amendments made by this Schedule.

(2)       In particular, such regulations may deal with the status, after the commencement of the amendments, of persons who were members of the Defence Force immediately before that time.

(3)       Subitem (2) does not limit the scope of subitem (1).

Schedule 3

7  Application of new Protection Act to defence service

(1)       The Defence Reserve Service (Protection) Act 2001 applies in relation to all defence service undertaken after that Act commences (the commencement time), except in so far as the service is rendered only as a result of:

                     (a)  being called out under Division 4 of Part III, or under Part IIIA, of the Defence Act 1903 before the commencement time; or

                     (b)  a voluntary undertaking to render continuous full time service that a member gave before the commencement time.

(2)       The Defence (Re-establishment) Act 1965 continues to apply in relation to defence service covered by paragraph (1)(a) or (b), despite the repeal of that Act by this Schedule.

Schedule 4

3  Saving--determinations under paragraph 58B(1)(b)

Although item 2 repeals and substitutes paragraph 58B(1)(b) of the Defence Act 1903, any determination that was in effect under that paragraph immediately before that repeal continues in effect after that time as if it had been made under the new version of that paragraph.

(3)       Despite the repeals and amendments made by Parts 1 and 2 of this Schedule:

                     (a)  the Bankruptcy Act 1966 and regulations under that Act; and

                     (b)  the Acts amended by Part 2 of this Schedule;

Tax Laws Amendment (Repeal of Inoperative Provisions) Act 2006
(No. 101, 2006)

Schedule 6

1  Application of Schedule 1 and 2 amendments

Except as mentioned in items 2 and 3, the repeals and amendments made by Schedules 1 and 2 apply:

                     (a)  so far as they affect assessments--to assessments for the 2006-07 income year and all later income years; and

                     (b)  otherwise--to acts done or omitted to be done, or states of affairs existing, after the commencement of the repeals and amendments.

6  Object

The object of this Part is to ensure that, despite the repeals and amendments made by this Act, the full legal and administrative consequences of:

                     (a)  any act done or omitted to be done; or

                     (b)  any state of affairs existing; or

                     (c)  any period ending;

before such a repeal or amendment applies, can continue to arise and be carried out, directly or indirectly through an indefinite number of steps, even if some or all of those steps are taken after the repeal or amendment applies.

7  Making and amending assessments, and doing other things, in relation to past matters

Even though an Act is repealed or amended by this Act, the repeal or amendment is disregarded for the purpose of doing any of the following under any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003):

                     (a)  making or amending an assessment (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

                     (b)  exercising any right or power, performing any obligation or duty or doing any other thing (including under a provision that is itself repealed or amended);

in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

Example 1: On 31 July 1999, Greg Ltd lodged its annual return under former section 160ARE of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. The return stated that the company had a credit on its franking account and that no franking deficit tax was payable for the 1998-99 franking year. Under former section 160ARH of that Act, the Commissioner was taken to have made an assessment consistent with the return.

                   Following an audit undertaken after the repeal of Part IIIAA of that Act, the Commissioner concludes that Greg Ltd fraudulently overfranked dividends it paid during the 1998-99 franking year, and had a franking account deficit for that franking year. As a result, the Commissioner considers that franking deficit tax and a penalty by way of additional tax are payable.

                   The Commissioner can amend the assessment under former section 160ARN of that Act, because item 7 of this Schedule disregards the repeal of that section for the purposes of making an assessment in relation to the 1998-99 franking year. Item 7 will also disregard the repeal of Division 11 of former Part IIIAA to the extent necessary for the Commissioner to assess Greg Ltd's liability to a penalty by way of additional tax.

                   Despite the repeal of sections 160ARU and 160ARV, item 9 will ensure that the general interest charge will accrue on the unpaid franking deficit tax and penalty until they are paid.

                   Item 7 will also preserve Greg Ltd's right, under former section 160ART of that Act, to object against the Commissioner's amended assessment (including the penalty), since the objection is the exercise of a right in relation to a franking year that ended before the repeal of Part IIIAA.

Example 2: During the 1997-98 income year, Duffy Property Ltd withheld amounts from its employees' wages as required by former Divisions 1AAA and 2 of Part VI of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936. The company failed to notify the Commissioner of those amounts, and failed to remit them to the Commissioner.

                   Following an audit undertaken after the repeal of those Divisions, the Commissioner discovers that the withheld amounts have not been remitted. The company's records are incomplete and the Commissioner is unable to completely ascertain the extent of its liability for the withheld amounts. Under section 222AGA of that Act, the Commissioner makes an estimate of the liability.

                   Item 7 will disregard the repeal of section 220AAZA of that Act (which empowered the Commissioner to recover the amount of the estimate). Even though the estimate is made after the repeal, it relates to amounts withheld before the repeal.

8  Saving of provisions about effect of assessments

If a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act deals with the effect of an assessment, the repeal or amendment is disregarded in relation to assessments made, before or after the repeal or amendment applies, in relation to any act done or omitted to be done, any state of affairs existing, or any period ending, before the repeal or amendment applies.

9  Saving of provisions about general interest charge, failure to notify penalty or late reconciliation statement penalty

If:

                     (a)  a provision or part of a provision that is repealed or amended by this Act provides for the payment of:

                              (i)  general interest charge, failure to notify penalty or late reconciliation statement penalty (all within the meaning of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936); or

                             (ii)  interest under the Taxation (Interest on Overpayments and Early Payments) Act 1983; and

                     (b)  in a particular case, the period in respect of which the charge, penalty or interest is payable (whether under the provision or under the Taxation Administration Act 1953) has not begun, or has begun but not ended, when the provision is repealed or amended;

then, despite the repeal or amendment, the provision or part continues to apply in the particular case until the end of the period.

10  Repeals disregarded for the purposes of dependent provisions

If the operation of a provision (the subject provision) of any Act or legislative instrument (within the meaning of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003) made under any Act depends to any extent on an Act, or a provision of an Act, that is repealed by this Act, the repeal is disregarded so far as it affects the operation of the subject provision.

11  Schedule does not limit operation of section 8 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901

This Schedule does not limit the operation of section 8 of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.

                     (a)  its terms; and

                     (b)  the amendments made by this Schedule.

(2)       However, for the purposes of an appointment continued in effect by subitem (1), the requirement in paragraph 58L(2)(c) of the Defence Act 1903 (as amended by this Act) that the President of the Defence Force Remuneration Tribunal be a Deputy President of FWA may be met instead by the President being a presidential member of the Commission (within the meaning of section 58F of the Defence Act 1903 as in force immediately before the commencement of item 93).
