PART 9.10 - FEES FOR CHARGEABLE MATTERS

SECTION 1354   LODGMENT OF DOCUMENT WITHOUT PAYMENT OF FEE  

1354(1)  [Lodgment without payment of fee]  

This section applies where:

(a)  a fee is payable under section 1351 for the lodgment of a document; and

(b)  the document was submitted for lodgment without payment of the fee.

1354(2)  [Effect of non-payment]  

The document is not taken not to have been lodged merely because of non-payment of the fee.

1354(3)  [Person by whom fee payable]  

However, if the amount of the fee is ascertainable, the fee is a debt due to the Commonwealth and payable by the person whom the Commission determines in writing to be the person who it is reasonable to expect would have paid the fee if the fee had been paid when the document was submitted for lodgment.
