Excise Tariff Validation Act 2009

"The Excise Tariff Validation Act 2009 is an Australian Act that validates certain collections of duties of excise. The Act was enacted to validate collections of excise duties made before a specific date due to proposed changes in the excise tariff or notices published under the Excise Act 1901. Specifically, the Act confirms that all duties of excise demanded or collected before May 14, 2009, because of an excise tariff proposal or a notice published on April 26, 2008, were lawfully imposed and collected. This validation ensures that these collections are deemed lawful and legitimate, despite any changes to the excise tariff or notices that may have been made after the specified date. The Act commences on May 14, 2009."
