 (ii) amounts (if any) paid, on behalf of a person liable to pay that levy, by another person, in respect of the research component of that levy; and

 (b) amounts worked out under subsection (2).
 (2) The amounts to be paid to the Corporation under paragraph (1)(b), during a particular financial year, are as follows:
 (a) an amount equal to 0.5% of total GVP for that year or, if the amount spent or required to be spent by the Corporation under section 33 (other than paragraph 33(1)(d)) for that financial year is less than 0.5% of that total GVP, an amount equal to that lesser amount;

 (c) where the amount so spent or required to be spent by the Corporation for that financial year is more than 0.5% of total GVP for that year and a State or Territory has made a payment to the Corporation in respect of research and development in respect of the fishing industry:
