These Guidelines are the ACIS Administration (Modulation) Guidelines 2000.
These Guidelines commence on 1 September 2000.
(1) These Guidelines set out how the following kinds of credit are to be modulated:
(a) unmodulated uncapped production credit;
(b) unmodulated capped production credit;
(c) unmodulated investment credit.
(2) The purpose of modulating the credit is to ensure that:
(a) the $2 000 000 000 cap on ACIS mentioned in section 53 of the Act is not exceeded; and
(b) for each participant and in respect of each ACIS year, the 5% of sales cap mentioned in section 54 of the Act is not exceeded.
(a) in relation to unmodulated uncapped production credit or unmodulated capped production credit for an MVP — has the meaning given by subsection 5 (5); and
(b) in relation to unmodulated investment credit for a participant — has the meaning given by subsection 6 (4).
2 billion cap rate means the rate for modulating an amount of credit to ensure that the $2 000 000 000 cap on ACIS mentioned in section 53 of the Act is not exceeded.
5% cap rate means the rate for modulating an amount of credit to ensure that the 5% of sales cap mentioned in section 54 of the Act is not exceeded for a participant.
final year, means the ACIS year commencing 1 January 2005.
Note A number of terms used in these Guidelines are defined in section 6 of the Act, including final quarter, unmodulated capped production credit, unmodulated investment credit and unmodulated uncapped production credit.
5 Modulation of production credit
(1) For section 56 of the Act:
(a) the unmodulated uncapped production credit worked out by the Secretary for an MVP for a particular quarter is to be modulated by multiplying the amount of that credit by the 5% cap rate for the MVP for that quarter, determined under Part 4; and
(b) the unmodulated capped production credit worked out by the Secretary for an MVP for a particular quarter is to be modulated:
(i) by multiplying the amount of that credit by the 2 billion cap rate for that quarter, determined under Part 3; and
(ii) by multiplying the amount obtained under subparagraph (i) by the 5% cap rate for the MVP for that quarter, determined under Part 4.
(2) However, subsections (3) and (4) apply if, after the modulated credit for an MVP for a particular quarter has been worked out under subsection (1) and issued to the MVP:
(a) the Secretary is required to amend the ACIS ledger, under section 66 of the Act, to give effect to a decision of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal or of a court, or to correct an error in the ledger; and
(b) in giving effect to the decision or in correcting the error, the unmodulated uncapped production credit, or the unmodulated capped production credit, worked out for the MVP for that particular quarter (the revised amount) exceeds the amount of that credit (the original amount) used to work out the modulated credit.
(3) The additional amount of unmodulated uncapped production credit worked out for the MVP for that particular quarter is to be modulated by multiplying that amount by the 5% cap rate for the MVP for the additional amount, determined under Part 4.
(4) The additional amount of unmodulated capped production credit worked out for the MVP for that particular quarter is to be modulated:
(a) by multiplying that amount by the 2 billion cap rate for the additional amount, determined under Part 3; and
(b) by multiplying the amount obtained under paragraph (a) by the 5% cap rate for the MVP for the additional amount, determined under Part 4.
additional amount means the amount by which the revised amount exceeds the original amount.
6 Modulation of investment credit
(1) For sections 57 and 59 of the Act, the unmodulated investment credit worked out by the Secretary for an MVP, ACP, AMTP and ASP for a particular quarter is to be modulated:
(a) by multiplying the amount of that credit by the 2 billion cap rate for that quarter, determined under Part 3; and
(b) by multiplying the amount obtained under paragraph (a) by the 5% cap rate for the participant for that quarter, determined under Part 4.
(2) However, subsection (3) applies if, after the modulated credit for a participant for a particular quarter has been worked out under subsection (1) and issued to the participant:
(b) in giving effect to the decision or in correcting the error, the unmodulated investment credit worked out for the participant for that particular quarter (the revised amount) exceeds the amount of that credit (the original amount) used to work out the modulated credit.
(3) The additional amount of the unmodulated investment credit worked out for the participant for that particular quarter is to be modulated:
(b) by multiplying the amount obtained under paragraph (a) by the 5% cap rate for the participant for the additional amount, determined under Part 4.
remaining ACIS year, means an ACIS year in which at least 1 remaining quarter lies.
remaining quarter, in relation to the determination of a 2 billion cap rate, means a quarter in an ACIS year for which modulated credit has not been issued to participants as duty credit at the time of determining the 2 billion cap rate.
total expected capped credit, for a participant for an ACIS year, means the sum of:
(a) the total amount of any additional amount of unmodulated capped production credit and unmodulated investment credit for the participant worked out to date during a remaining quarter in that year; and
(b) the total amount of expected unmodulated capped production credit, determined under section 10, for the participant for all remaining quarters in that year; and
(c) the total amount of expected unmodulated investment credit, determined under section 10, for the participant for all remaining quarters in that year.
total expected credit, for a participant for an ACIS year, means the sum of:
(a) the total amount of modulated credit issued to date to the participant as duty credit during that year; and
(b) the total expected uncapped credit for the participant for that year; and
(c) the total expected capped credit for the participant for that year.
total expected uncapped credit, for a participant for an ACIS year, means the sum of:
(a) any additional amount of unmodulated uncapped production credit for the participant worked out to date during a remaining quarter in that year; and
(b) the total amount of expected unmodulated uncapped production credit, determined under section 10, for the participant for all remaining quarters in that year.
8 Determination of 2 billion cap rate for a quarter in an ACIS year (other than the final quarter)
(1) The 2 billion cap rate for a quarter in an ACIS year (other than the final quarter) is the 2 billion cap rate for that year determined under subsection (3).
(2) However, if a new 2 billion cap rate is determined under subsection (4), the 2 billion cap rate for each remaining quarter in that year is the new 2 billion cap rate.
(3) The 2 billion cap rate for an ACIS year is the 2 billion cap rate determined under section 12 as soon as practicable after 31 October immediately preceding that year but before 1 April in that year.
(4) If the 2 billion cap rate for a quarter in an ACIS year is no longer appropriate for achieving the purpose of modulating the credit mentioned in paragraph 3 (2) (a), a new 2 billion cap rate may be determined under section 12 before modulated credit for that quarter has been issued to participants as duty credit.
Example The 2 billion cap rate for a quarter may no longer be appropriate if new participants subsequently enter the scheme.

(b) in any other case — the value or amount worked out, based on estimates in the latest business plan provided by the participant that contains information about that value or amount.
