419: Basis on which levies may be imposed

You could also call this:

"How the government decides who pays what for aviation fees"

Illustration for Civil Aviation Act 2023

The government can charge different amounts of levies to different people or groups. You might be charged a different amount depending on what type of aerodrome, aircraft, or service you use. The amount you are charged can also depend on when you use it. You can be charged based on things like how much fuel you buy, how many passengers your plane can carry, or how far you fly. The government can also consider the size of your plane, what you use it for, or what services you provide when deciding how much to charge you.
