127  Effect of orders on administrative assessment of child support
 (1) This section applies if the court makes an order under section 124 that includes a statement under section 125 that the annual rate of child support payable by a liable parent under an administrative assessment is to be reduced, in the manner specified under subsection 125(3), by the child support ordered to be provided by the liable parent.
 (2) When the decision of the court making the order becomes final, the Registrar must immediately take such action as is necessary to give effect to the order in relation to any relevant administrative assessment that has been made (whether by amending the assessment or otherwise).
 (3) In subsequently making a relevant administrative assessment, the Registrar must:
 (a) work out what would, apart from this Division, be the annual rate of child support payable by the liable parent to the carer entitled to child support; and
 (b) reduce (but not below 0) that annual rate by the amount or percentage specified in the statement included in the order under subsection 125(3); and
 (c) make the assessment on the basis of that reduced annual rate.
