VICTIMS OF CRIME ACT 1994 - SECT 24

Imposition of victims services levy

    (1)     A levy (a victims services levy ) is imposed to provide a source of revenue to improve services for victims of crime.

    (2)     An adult who is convicted of an offence and ordered by a court to pay a fine in relation to the offence, is liable to pay the Territory a victims services levy of $10.

Note     The victims services levy is recoverable under the Magistrates Court Act 1930 , pt 3.9 (Enforcement of criminal decisions). However, that Act, s 154D (Fine defaulters––imprisonment) does not apply in relation to the victims services levy.

    (3)     The victims services levy is in addition to, and does not form part of, the fine.
