What this instrument does
The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has registered a legislative instrument titled the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemical Products (Collection of Levy)(Payment Dates) Direction 2025 (reference F2025L01503).
The instrument sets the prescribed payment dates for the agricultural and veterinary chemical products levy under the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemical Products (Collection of Levy) Act 1994.
What the direction covers
The direction sets dates for two payment methods provided under the Act:
- The due date for lump-sum levy payments under paragraph 6(1)(c) of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemical Products (Collection of Levy) Act 1994.
- The schedule for paying by instalments under paragraph 6(1)(d) of the same Act.
The source document does not specify the actual payment dates or instalment amounts set by this direction - only that it sets them. The full instrument is available at https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2025L01503.
Dates
- Commencement: 9 December 2025
- Expiry: 2 October 2026
Key actions
- Read the full direction at https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2025L01503 to confirm the payment due dates and any instalment schedule that applies from 9 December 2025.
- Check whether the levy is paid as a lump sum under paragraph 6(1)(c) or by instalments under paragraph 6(1)(d), as the direction sets different dates for each method - the source does not specify those dates, so reading the instrument directly is required to confirm them.
- Note that this direction expires on 2 October 2026 - a replacement instrument before that date is what will confirm payment dates for the period after expiry.
