Brief
The Fishing Levy Act 1991 is an Australian Act that imposes a levy in respect of fishing concessions. The Act may be cited as the Fishing Levy Act 1991 and commences on the day it receives Royal Assent, with certain provisions commencing on a later date to be fixed by proclamation.
The Act extends to every external Territory and applies both within and outside Australia. It imposes a levy in respect of a fishing concession, which is defined as a fishing concession within the meaning of the Fisheries Management Act 1991, other than a foreign fishing licence granted under Part 3 of that Act.
The amount of levy is such amount as is prescribed by regulation. Levy is payable by the person who holds the fishing concession at the time it is due and payable. The Governor-General may make regulations for the purposes of section 6, which deals with the amount of levy.
The Act has undergone amendments since its initial enactment in 1991, including changes made under the Fisheries Legislation Amendment Act (No. 2) 2010.
