30D: Rebates

You could also call this:

"Getting some money back from the Broadcasting Standards Authority"

Illustration for Broadcasting Act 1989

The Broadcasting Standards Authority can give a broadcaster some of their money back. This is called a rebate and it is for the annual levy they paid under section 30B. You get this rebate for part or all of the levy you paid. The Authority decides who gets a rebate by looking at a few things. They look at whether you stopped broadcasting during the year you paid the levy. They also look at how much levy you paid.
