130: Miscellaneous provisions relating to levies

You could also call this:

“Rules about paying different fees and how the government collects them”

The proposed law says that if you fall into more than one category of people who have to pay different levies, you will need to pay all of those levies unless the rules say otherwise.

If you don’t pay a levy, the government can take you to court to get the money you owe. The person in charge, or someone else chosen by the government, can do this on behalf of the Crown.

The person in charge, or someone else chosen by the government, must make sure that all the levy payments go into a special government bank account. They also need to keep careful records of each payment.
