8  Imposition of registration fees
 (1) The GEMS Regulator may, by legislative instrument, specify fees (registration fees) for registration applications.
Example 1: The instrument might specify different fees for applications to register models in different product classes (see subsection 33(3A) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901).
Example 2: The instrument might specify different fees for registration applications depending on whether or not the applications are made by electronic means (see subsection 33(3A) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901).
 (2) Registration fees specified under subsection (1) are imposed, and are so imposed as taxes.
 (3) Two or more registration fees may be specified for a single registration application.
Example: The instrument might specify a number of registration fees for a single registration application to deal with applications covering a number of models or product classes.
Note: The GEMS Regulator may, in a particular case or in particular classes of cases, waive or reduce a registration fee, or refund the whole or part of a registration fee, that would otherwise be payable under the Greenhouse and Energy Minimum Standards Act 2012 (see section 64 of that Act).
