Commodity Levies Act 1990

Introduction

You could also call this:

"Charging Fees to Help People Who Produce or Sell Goods"

Illustration for Commodity Levies Act 1990

You can make rules to charge some goods a fee. This fee is paid to groups that represent the people who pay the fee. These groups speak up for the people who pay the fee. You make these rules using something called Orders in Council. This helps the groups get money to work for the people who pay the fee. The people who pay the fee are usually the ones who produce or sell the goods. The groups that get the fee are like a team that works for the people who pay. They help the people who pay the fee by speaking up for them. The fee is used to help the people who pay it, and the groups use it to do their work. The rules say how the fee is paid and who gets the money. The groups use the money to help the people who pay the fee. This helps the people who produce or sell the goods to have a say in what happens to them.
