Levy arrangements 2008

IMPORTANT NOTICE SESSF Levy BPAY payments:
If you are paying SESSF levy by BPAY read this first.

Levy Invoices

The Federal Executive Council has approved the Fishing Levy Regulations 2008. Levy invoices for the current financial year for all fisheries will be posted over the next few months beginning in early February.

The 2007-08 levies are based on financial year budgets approved by the AFMA Board in May 2007 after consultation with management advisory committees. Levy invoices will reflect the change in levy subsidy from $7 million to $5 million provided through the Securing our Fishing Future package.

As in previous years, concession holders will have 28 days to pay from the date of the levy invoice. Some fisheries have two instalments. To assist with your financial planning the proposed instalment dates are provided below.

Please also note that due to the requirement to cease the permanent trade of concessions in some fisheries 14 days before a levy invoice is issued, AFMA will cease processing permanent trades until levies are paid for the following fisheries by each corresponding date.
