A Bill for an Act to provide for grants for certain sales
of fuels, and for related purposes
The Parliament of Australia enacts:
This Act may be cited as the Fuel Sales Grants Act 2000.
This Act commences on the day on which it receives the Royal
Assent.
This Act binds the Crown in right of each of the States, of the
Australian Capital Territory, of the Northern Territory and of Norfolk Island.
However, it does not make the Crown liable to be prosecuted for an
offence.
(1) In this Act, unless the contrary intention appears:
eligible location has the meaning given by the
regulations.
fuel means goods covered by:
(a) gasoline or diesel classified to item 11 or 12 of the Schedule to
the Excise Tariff for use as fuel otherwise than in aircraft; or
(b) gasoline or diesel that would be classified to item 11 or 12 of
the Schedule to the Excise Tariff if it had been produced in Australia for use
as fuel otherwise than in aircraft; or
(c) any other goods prescribed for the purposes of this
definition.
(2) An expression used in this Act that is also used in the Product
Grants and Benefits Administration Act 2000 has the same meaning as in that
Act, unless the contrary intention appears.
(3) For the purposes of this Act:
(a) the location at which a sale of fuel takes place is taken to be the
location at which the purchaser takes possession of the fuel; and
(b) a sale of fuel is taken to have occurred when the purchaser takes
possession of the fuel.
The Commissioner has the general administration of this
Act.
(1) Despite the other provisions of this Part, you are not entitled to a
fuel sales grant unless you were registered for entitlement to fuel sales grants
when you made a claim for payment of the fuel sales grant.
Note: You register for fuel sales grants under the
Product Grants and Benefits Administration Act 2000.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), if you make a
claim:
(a) after, or at the same time as, you apply for registration;
but
(b) before you are registered;
the claim is taken to have been made immediately after you are
registered.
You are entitled to a fuel sales grant for the sale of fuel
where:
(a) the sale is in an eligible location; and
(b) the sale is to the end user of the fuel; and
(c) the sale is after 30 June 2000.
(1) If you are entitled to a fuel sales grant in respect of the sale of
fuel during a payment period, the amount of the fuel sales grants for the
payment period is worked out in accordance with the regulations.
(2) To avoid doubt, the amount of a grant may be a nil amount.
The Governor-General may make regulations prescribing matters:
(a) required
or permitted by this Act to be prescribed; or
(b) necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving
effect to this Act.
