5  After subsection 53(2)
Insert:

 (2A) For the purposes of recovering all or part of the ACA's expenses relating to the performance of its functions under paragraph 8(1)(aa) or (ab), the ACA may charge a person an amount that has been:
 (a) agreed with the person; or
 (b) worked out under an agreement with the person.

Note 1: Paragraph 8(1)(aa) is about the ACA preparing to provide for the management of electronic addressing, and paragraph 8(1)(ab) is about the ACA providing for the management of electronic addressing.

Note 2: Subsection (2A) lets the ACA charge a consenting person for things done by the ACA in performing those functions, even though the charge would be a tax if it were imposed on the person without his or her consent.

 (2B) Subsection (2A) does not limit subsection (1).

Note: The ACA need not obtain a person's agreement to a charge that relates to the ACA's expenses in performing its functions mentioned in subsection (2A) and does not amount to taxation (either because the charge is a fee for the ACA providing the person with services or facilities or for another reason).
