What the National Residue Survey is
2. The National Residue Survey is a program to monitor, and report on, the level of contaminants in food products produced in Australia, or exported from Australia. The program is funded by levies on the food products.
3. There are 3 Acts that set up the Scheme—the National Residue Survey (Customs) Levy Act 1998 (“the NRS Customs Levy Act”), the National Residue Survey (Excise) Levy Act 1998 (“the NRS Excise Levy Act”) and the National Residue Survey Administration Act 1992. The first 2 of those Acts impose the levies, and the third sets up the trust account into which the levies are paid and provides for the distribution of money from the account. The Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 is also relevant—see below.
4. NRS customs levies are imposed on the export of a commodity, and NRS excise levies are imposed on a commodity, or transactions in or the use of the commodity, within Australia. In this Guide the distinctions between the imposition of a levy on the export of a commodity, and the imposition of a levy on a transaction in a commodity, or on the commodity itself, are ignored for the sake of clearness.
What these Regulations do
5. These Regulations set out certain matters necessary for the administration of the levies that fund the National Residue Survey scheme.
How these Regulations are arranged
6. These Regulations are divided into 18 Parts—a preliminary Part dealing with general matters and definitions, and other Parts each dealing with a commodity or a class of commodities. If a commodity is subject to levies under both the NRS Customs Levy Act and the NRS Excise Levy Act, there is only 1 Part for it in these Regulations, but matters specifically connected with the customs levy are in separate provisions from matters specifically connected with the excise levy. For an example, see Part 3, covering both customs levy on cattle export under the NRS Customs Levy Act, and excise levy on cattle transactions under the NRS Excise Levy Act.
7. Each Part contains a reference to the relevant Schedule of the NRS Customs Levy Act or the NRS Excise Levy Act or both.
8. If either the NRS Customs Levy Act or the NRS Excise Levy Act imposes a levy on a whole class of commodities (for example, horticultural products), the relevant Part may be divided into Divisions—that is, there will be a preliminary Division dealing with general matters and then 2 or more Divisions dealing with the separate commodities in the class.
9. Both Acts allow these Regulations to prescribe other commodities that are to be subject to a levy. (For example, see Schedule 4 to the NRS Customs Levy Act and Schedule 9 to the NRS Excise Levy Act, both of which deal with kinds of horticultural products, such as fruit and vegetables.) Part 11 of these Regulations deals with horticultural products, and Division 8 of that Part deals with macadamia nuts, which are prescribed for both Schedules. So far, no other commodities have become subject to a levy by regulation.
10. A block of regulation numbers is left unused after that Division for possible insertion of Divisions dealing with other commodities, but this should not itself be taken as an indication that it is intended to prescribe any other commodities.
11. See the Table of Provisions for the complete layout of the Regulations.
What are the levy rates
12. The levy rates for most commodities are set out in the relevant Acts. The rate that is actually payable on a commodity is called the operative rate for the commodity. However, both Acts allow the rates to be varied by regulations, and there are some commodities for which the Acts do not set a levy rate but provide for it to be set by regulations. The Acts always set a maximum rate for a commodity—regulations cannot provide for an operative levy rate greater than the maximum rate.
13. If the operative rate for a commodity is still that set by an Act, these regulations contain a note giving the rate and where in the Act it is set. Therefore, the operative rates for all commodities are found in these regulations even if they are actually set by the Act.
14. Note that if these regulations have only a note about the operative rate for a commodity, regulation numbers are left unused for the later insertion of a regulation or regulations setting an operative rate. (This is to avoid the need to use a number like “19A”.) The gap in the numbers is signalled by a note. For example:
“Note 1 The operative rate of NRS excise levy on coarse grains is 0.015% (maximum rate 0.03%) of the value of the grain—see subclause 6 (1) of Schedule 2 to the NRS Excise Levy Act.
Note 2 Regulation number 36 intentionally not used.”.
Reservation of numbers in this way is not an indication that a levy rate will ever be increased.
What other Regulations need to be read as well
15. The Act that sets out the basic reporting and levy-collection arrangements for all levies on primary products is called the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection Act 1991 (the Collection Act). These Regulations are partly based on that Act.
16. These Regulations are not necessarily self-contained for each commodity. If a commodity is subject to an NRS levy but not to any other levy, the whole of the reporting and levy-collection arrangements for the commodity will be in these Regulations.
17. However, for commodities that are subject to a levy under another Act, there will be regulations (usually called the Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (name of commodity) Regulations) that set out what the levy year is, what the reporting requirements are, and other matters required for the Collection Act. These Regulations do not repeat those matters. If you need to refer to other Regulations for the complete arrangements for a commodity, those other Regulations will be mentioned in the relevant Part of these Regulations. (There are some matters—for example, certain penalties—that are dealt with in the Collection Act itself, and these Regulations then contain a Note referring to the relevant provision of that Act.)
18. Those other Regulations are:
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Cattle and Live‑stock) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Coarse Grains) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Dairy) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Deer and Deer Velvet) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Dried Fruits) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Dried Vine Fruits) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Grain Legumes) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Honey) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Laying Chicken) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Macadamia Nut) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Meat Chicken) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Oilseeds) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Pig) Regulations
• Primary Industries Levies and Charges Collection (Wheat) Regulations.
(The list is not a complete list of all regulations dealing with the collection of levies on primary products—it does not include regulations dealing with collection of levies for commodities not subject to an NRS levy.)
19. Many provisions of these Regulations also contain references to certain provisions of the Collection Act itself (apart from the penalties mentioned above). Those provisions are the definitions of processor and producer in section 4 of the Collection Act, or to section 7.
20. The effect of a reference to the definition of processor or producer is to regard certain people, who would not be regarded as being a processor or producer of a commodity in the ordinary meaning of the term, as a processor or producer of the commodity for the purposes of the NRS Levy Acts and these Regulations. The effect of doing so is that the person who is regarded as a processor or producer becomes liable to pay NRS levy on the commodity.
21. A reference to section 7 of the Collection Act applies one or other subsections of that section to a commodity. The effect of doing so is that an intermediary of a class specified in the applied subsection (for example, a selling agent) becomes liable to pay NRS levy on the commodity on behalf of his or her principal.
22. Note that if a set of regulations mentioned in paragraph 18 applies to a commodity, the provisions of the Collection Act discussed in the previous 3 paragraphs may be applied to the commodity by those regulations.
These Regulations are the Primary Industries Levies and Charges (National Residue Survey Levies) Regulations 1998.
These Regulations commence when Schedule 2 of the National Residue Survey Administration Amendment Act 1998 commences.
Note That Schedule commences on 3 July 1998.
