Illustration for Commodity Levies Act 1990

This law lets the government make rules that require people to pay a levy on certain goods. You will pay this levy to a group that represents the people who are paying the levy. The group is like a company and it looks after the interests of the people who are paying the levy. The government can make these rules for certain types of goods. The people who pay the levy are usually the ones who are involved in the industry that the goods come from. The levy is like a special kind of charge that you have to pay. The group that gets the levy money is a body corporate, which means it is like a company. This group is supposed to represent the views and interests of the people who are paying the levy. The law is meant to help the government work with these groups to make rules about levies.
