Telecommunications Carrier Licence Charges Determination 2026

This determination establishes the estimated total of grants for the 2026 financial year, which is used by telecommunications carriers to calculate their annual licence charge obligations under the Telecommunications (Carrier Licence Charges) Act 1997. The figure directly impacts the amount each carrier must pay as part of their universal service and other grant-related obligations.

Telecommunications carriers holding carrier licences must use this determination when computing their charge liabilities. Failure to comply may result in penalties under the Act. Carriers should review their internal financial projections and ensure accounting systems reflect the updated grant estimation figure for accurate budgeting and compliance.
