What changed in the Federal Excise Act 2005 on 2015-07-01

Between the version published 2014-07-01 and the one published 2015-07-01, 6 sections appeared for the first time and 1 no longer appears.

Reading this in plain terms: a section appearing for the first time usually means Parliament inserted a new provision. A section disappearing usually means it was omitted. Neither is certain from the text alone, so treat this as a guide to what to check rather than as proof.

New in this version

• section 14A: Short paid amounts recoverable
• section 29: Appointment of Federal excise officers and delegation of powers
• section 42D: Reward to whistleblowers
• section 44A: Delayed refund
• section 47A: Agreements for the exchange of information
• section 47B: Disclosure of information by a public servant

No longer present

These were in the previous version and are not in this one.

• section 47: Service of notices and other documents
