263: Payment of infringement fees

You could also call this:

“Paying a fine for breaking alcohol laws: where the money goes”

When you pay an infringement fee for breaking an alcohol law, the money must go into a special bank account that belongs to the government. This account is called a Crown Bank Account. You can find more information about this by looking at s 162D. The infringement fee is paid to show that you have broken the law, and the money is used by the government. The government keeps track of all the infringement fees that are paid into the Crown Bank Account.
