CV 7: Australian wine producer rebate
or “New Zealand winemakers must include Australian rebates in their income”
You could also call this:

“Rules for New Zealand winemakers to claim rebates on wine sold in Australia”

The Governor-General can make rules about New Zealand wine makers getting money back from Australia for wine they make in New Zealand and sell in Australia. These rules help the Commissioner manage this process.

The rules can be about how New Zealand wine makers ask for the money, how their right to get the money is checked, and anything else needed to make the agreement between New Zealand and Australia work properly. This agreement is about avoiding paying tax twice and stopping people from not paying tax they should.

These rules can start working from 1 July 2005 and can apply to Australian financial years that begin on or after that date. They can even work even if they go against other tax laws.

In these rules, an Australian financial year starts on 1 July. ‘Wine’ means what the Australian law says it means.

The rules made by the Governor-General are a type of law called secondary legislation. They start working as soon as they’re made, even if they haven’t been published yet.
