The Radiocommunications (Transmitter Licence Tax) Determination 2025 has been issued and is set to come into force on February 5, 2026. This determination, administered by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts, establishes the tax amounts applicable to various transmitter licences under the Radiocommunications (Transmitter Licence Tax) Act 1983.

Entities holding or requiring transmitter licences in Australia will be subject to the tax rates specified in this determination. Compliance officers should review the new tax schedule to ensure accurate payment of licence fees from the effective date. No specific compliance deadline is mentioned beyond the effective date itself, but failure to comply with licence tax obligations may result in penalties under the Act.
