Key documents

The issue

In our March consultation paper, we announced further work on a number of apparatus licence pricing proposals. These included:

  • a proposed framework to update taxes annually using population data
  • a proposed reduction of nearly 50% to the television outside broadcast network (TOBN) licence tax rate 
  • discussion on further work on pricing for varying levels of interference.

This consultation paper progresses these issues further. It: 

  • addresses stakeholder feedback on previous proposals and provides our responses
  • announces the reduction of the TOBN licence tax rate
  • proposes an update to apparatus licence taxes based on the new population methodology.

Have your say

We invite comments on the issues set out in the consultation paper by 5 pm (AEDT), Thursday 28 September.
