FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS SUPERVISORY LEVIES COLLECTION ACT 1998 - SECT 12

                   APRA, on behalf of the Commonwealth, may, if APRA considers it is appropriate to do so, waive the payment of the whole or a part of an amount of levy or late payment penalty that is payable by a levy paying entity.

Note:          For example, if levy is payable by a body corporate which has ceased to be authorised under the Insurance Act 1973 to carry on an insurance business and has ceased to be a life company, APRA may waive the payment of the levy if APRA considers it appropriate to do so because payment of the levy would prevent payment in full of claims under contracts of insurance made with the body corporate.
