A Bill for an Act to impose a penalty surcharge on the
blending of certain fuel
The Parliament of Australia enacts:
This Act may be cited as the Fuel Blending (Penalty Surcharge) Act
1997.
This
Act commences on the commencement of the Excise Tariff (Fuel Rates
Amendments) Act 1997.
(1) In this Act:
Administration Act means the Fuel (Penalty Surcharges)
Administration Act 1997.
(2) Expressions used in this Act that are defined for the purposes of the
Administration Act have the same meaning as in the Administration Act.
(1) This Act does not extend to any of the External Territories.
(2) This Act binds the Crown in all of its capacities other than the Crown
in right of Norfolk Island.
(1) Penalty surcharge is imposed, after the commencement of this Act, on
the blending of marked fuel and unmarked fuel if the mixture resulting from the
blend is itself marked fuel.
(2) The penalty surcharge is imposed on all of the fuel in the
blend.
Penalty surcharge on the blending of marked fuel and unmarked fuel is
payable by the person owning the fuel immediately after its blending.
The rate of penalty surcharge per litre of fuel on which the surcharge is
imposed is twice the rate applicable to a litre of fuel of a kind classified to
subparagraph 11(C)(2)(a) of the Schedule to the Excise Tariff Act
1921.
