Superannuation Contributions Tax (Members of Constitutionally Protected Superannuation Funds) Assessment and Collection Act 1997 for the relevant financial year.
current charge percentage

History
Definition of ``current charge percentage'' substituted by No 51 of 2002, s 3 and Sch 1 items 191 and 202, applicable in relation to surcharge imposed by the
Superannuation Contributions Tax (Members of Constitutionally Protected Superannuation Funds) Imposition Act 1997 for the 2003-2004 financial year and later financial years. The definition formerly read:
current charge percentage
means the number that is the employer's charge percentage under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992 for the relevant financial year.
previous charge percentage
means the number that is specified in subsection

History
Definition of ``previous charge percentage'' substituted by No 51 of 2002, s 3 and Sch 1 items 192 and 202, applicable in relation to surcharge imposed by the
Superannuation Contributions Tax (Members of Constitutionally Protected Superannuation Funds) Imposition Act 1997 for the 2003-2004 financial year and later financial years. However, for the 2003-2004 year, the amount that is the ``previous charge percentage'' (which is a number that relates to the 2002-2003 year) is to be determined as if the amendment had not been made. The definition formerly read:
