6  Individual transmitter amounts
 (1) For the purposes of paragraph 8(1)(a) of the Act, the individual transmitter amount for a transmitter covered by a transmitter licence at a particular time in a financial year is the lesser of:
 (a) the individual transmitter amount cap for the transmitter for the financial year; and
 (b) the uncapped individual transmitter amount for the transmitter at that particular time.

Uncapped individual transmitter amount
 (2) The uncapped individual transmitter amount for a transmitter at a particular time in a financial year is, subject to section 7 of this instrument, the following amount, rounded to the nearest dollar (with 50 cents rounded up):
 (a) if:
 (i) under the transmitter licence, the transmitter is authorised to operate at a remote location; or
 (ii) the transmitter is an alternative transmitter;
  the minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount for the financial year;
 (b) otherwise—the greater of:
 (i) the minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount for the financial year; and
 (ii) the amount worked out using the following formula:

Minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount
 (3) The minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount for the financial year beginning on 1 July 2017 is $39.57.
 (4) The minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount for:
 (a) the financial year beginning on 1 July 2018; or
 (b) a later financial year;
is the amount worked out using the following formula:
where:
indexation factor means the indexation factor for the financial year.
previous minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount means the minimum uncapped individual transmitter amount for the previous financial year.

Dollars per kHz of spectrum bandwidth
 (5) The dollars per kHz of spectrum bandwidth for a transmitter for the financial year beginning on 1 July 2017 is the amount per kHz worked out using the following table:
