The Parliament of Australia enacts:
This Act may be cited as the Customs Depot Licensing Charges Act

the Customs Act and includes such a licence that has been renewed under section
77T of that Act.

application charge payable as set out in section 77H of the Customs
Act.

as set out in section 77M or 77U of the Customs Act.

for a depot licence who:
(a) is a person or partnership occupying and managing a place that was an
appointed place under paragraph 17(b) of the Customs Act immediately before the
commencement day; and
(b) applies for the licence before 1 April 1997;
is $1,000.
(2) The amount of depot licence application charge payable by an applicant
to whom paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) do not apply is $3,000, or, if another amount

licence charge payable in respect of the grant or renewal of a licence as set
out in section 77U is $4,000, or, if another amount not exceeding $6,000 is
prescribed, that other amount.
(2) If a depot licence is granted for a period that is less than a year,
the amount of depot licence charge payable as set out in section 77U in respect
of that grant is the amount worked out using the formula:
where:
annual rate is the amount of $4,000, or, if another amount is
prescribed under subsection (1), that other amount.
licence days is the number of days during which the licence
is in force under that grant.
days in the year means:

charge payable by a person or partnership under subsection 77M(6) of the
Customs Act is $6,000.
