What changed in the Federal Excise Act 2005 on 2017-07-01

Between the version published 2016-07-01 and the one published 2017-07-01, 4 sections appeared for the first time.

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 9: Liability for payment of duty in the case of private companies or business enterprises or in case of sale of business ownership
• section 16: Exemptions
• section 47: Service of notices and other documents
• section 47C: Validation
