Business Names Amendment Regulations (No 2) 2001
Delegated Legislation Committee (2001 - 2017)· 20 March 2002general_report
The WA Delegated Legislation Committee reviewed the Business Names Amendment Regulations (No. 2) 2001, focusing on whether the $75 renewal fee constituted unlawful taxation. The Committee concluded the fee was authorized under the Business Names Act 1962 and the Interpretation Act 1984, as it deemed the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection's cost estimates potentially understated.
