mentioned in Schedule 1, other than the fees in any of items 102, 103, 104, 107, 124, 202, 209, 210 and 220 or the reduced fee in item 201A, is increased on 1 July 2023, and on each 1 July following that day, in accordance with this section.

Fees other than reduced fees
 (2) If, in a relevant period, the latest CPI number is greater than the earlier CPI number, the fee is increased, on 1 July immediately following the end of the period, in accordance with the formula:
where:
earlier CPI number is the CPI number for the last March quarter before the start of the relevant period.
fee is the amount of the fee in force at the end of the relevant period.
latest CPI number is the CPI number for the last March quarter before the end of the relevant period.
 (3) The amount of the fee worked out under subsection (2) is to be rounded to an amount of dollars and cents and then further rounded as follows:
 (a) if the amount is $50 or more—the amount is to be rounded to the nearest amount that is a multiple of $5;
 (b) if the amount is less than $50—the amount is to be rounded to the nearest whole dollar;
 (c) if the amount to be rounded is 50 cents, the amount is to be rounded down.

Reduced fees
 (4) If the full fee mentioned in item 201A of Schedule 1 is increased and rounded under subsections (2) and (3), the reduced fee mentioned in that item is increased in accordance with subsection (5) at the same time.
 (5) The increased reduced fee is half the amount of the full fee (as increased and rounded under subsections (2) and (3)), rounded down to the nearest multiple of $5.

Other rules
 (6) If the Australian Statistician publishes for a particular March quarter a CPI number in substitution for a CPI number previously published by the Australian Statistician for that quarter, the publication of the later CPI number is disregarded for this section.
 (7) However, if the Australian Statistician changes the index reference period for the CPI number, then for the application of this section after the change is made, regard must be had only to CPI numbers published in terms of the new index reference period.
