This Act commences on the commencement of item 1 of Schedule 1 to the Financial Services Reform Act 2001.
3Definitions#
Subject to this Act, Part 1.2 (Interpretation) of the Corporations Act 2001 applies for the purposes of this Act as if the provisions of this Act were provisions of Division 3 of Part 7.5 of that Act.
Note: Part 1.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 includes the Dictionary in section 9 of that Act, so the definitions in that section that apply to Division 3 of Part 7.5 of that Act apply for the purposes of this Act unless this Act otherwise provides.
4Imposition of levies in respect of compensation arrangements for financial services markets#
Any levy that is payable under section 883D of the Corporations Act 2001 is imposed by this Act.
5Amount of levy#
Compensation rules referred to in subsection 883D(1) of the Corporations Act 2001 must specify, or specify a method for determining, the amount of levy that is to be payable. The amount of levy imposed by section 4 of this Act in a particular situation is the amount specified in, or worked out in accordance with the method specified in, the compensation rules.
