Section 4: Other reporting requirements

4.1 Purchaser-provider arrangements

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) does not have any purchaser-provider arrangements with other Government agencies.

4.2 Cost recovery arrangements

The ACCC currently levies a variety of fees and charges under the Trade Practices Act 1974. Revenue from these fees and charges is identified in Table 5.7 on page 102.

It should be noted that with the exception of those revenues generated from discretionary services, where it has been agreed that these revenues can be retained by the ACCC in recognition of the costs associated with the provision of these services all other revenue generated by the ACCC is refunded back to Government via the Consolidated Revenue Fund.

The ACCC undertook a review of its cost recovery arrangements in March 2004 in accordance with the Australian Government’s five year review schedule for existing arrangements. A summary of the review is contained in the Treasury Portfolio Budget Statements 2004-05 on pages 101 to 103.
