s. 2

4 Meaning of fee unit

If in an Act or statutory rule there is a statement of a number (whether whole, fractional or decimal) of what are called fee units, that statement must, unless the context otherwise requires, be construed as stating a number of dollars equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of fee units by the amount fixed from time to time by the Treasurer under section 5(3).

5 Calculation of value of fee and penalty units

(1) The value of a fee unit is the amount fixed with respect to a financial year by the Treasurer by notice published in the Government Gazette.

(2) The value of a penalty unit is the amount fixed with respect to a financial year by the Treasurer by notice published in the Government Gazette.

(3) The Treasurer may, by notice published in the Government Gazette, fix once each financial year the amounts referred to in subsections (1) and (2).

(4) The Treasurer is to fix before 1 March in each year an amount to be known as the annual rate by which the amount of a fee unit or penalty unit is to be adjusted for the next financial year.

(5) If the Treasurer does not fix an annual rate under subsection (4) for a financial year, the annual rate that was determined for the previous financial year is to be the rate by which the amount of a fee unit or penalty unit is to be adjusted for the financial year.

(6) The amount of a fee unit fixed by the Treasurer that is to apply in respect of a financial year must not exceed the amount that is the product of the value of the fee unit in the previous financial year multiplied by the annual rate for the financial year

s. 4

in which the fee unit is to apply rounded to the nearest cent.

(7) The amount of a penalty unit fixed by the Treasurer that is to apply in respect of a financial year must not exceed the amount that is the product of the value of the penalty unit in the previous financial year multiplied by the annual rate for the financial year in which the penalty is to apply rounded to the nearest cent.

6 Notification of values of fee and penalty units

Before 1 June in each year the Treasurer must publish in the Government Gazette and in a newspaper circulating generally throughout Victoria notice of—

(a) the value of the fee unit that is to apply for the financial year commencing on 1 July in that year; and

(b) the value of the penalty unit that is to apply for the financial year commencing on 1 July in that year.

7 Calculation of a fee or penalty

(1) The amount of a fee provided for by an Act or a statutory rule by a fee unit is to be calculated by multiplying the number of fee units applicable by the value of a fee unit fixed under section 5.

(2) The amount of a penalty provided for by an Act or statutory rule by a penalty unit is to be calculated by multiplying the number of penalty units applicable by the value of a penalty unit fixed under section 5.

(3) The amount of a fee calculated under this section may be rounded to the nearest 10 cents.

(4) The amount of a penalty calculated under this section may be rounded to the nearest dollar.

s. 6

8 Certain monetary amounts to be construed in fee units or penalty units

(1) A provision in an Act authorising the Governor in Council to make a statutory rule that prescribes, fixes or charges a fee (however expressed) may be construed as authorising the Governor in Council to make a statutory rule to prescribe, fix or charge that fee by reference to a fee unit unless the amount to be prescribed, fixed or charged would be less than the value of one fee unit fixed in accordance with this Act.

(2) A provision in an Act authorising the Governor in Council to make a statutory rule that prescribes a penalty for an offence against the statutory rule (however expressed) may be construed as authorising the Governor in Council to make a statutory rule to prescribe that penalty by reference to a penalty unit.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2)(a) and (b), in calculating the number of fee units or penalty units, the number of fee units or penalty units is deemed to be calculated in accordance with those provisions if the fee unit or penalty unit is rounded up to the next 2 decimal places.
