7. (1) Where the Minister is satisfied that a law of a State relating to the

adequate and appropriate provision for the collection of those amounts on a
regular and timely basis, the Minister may, by notice published in the
Gazette, declare the law to be a corresponding State law for the purposes of
this section.

(2) If at any time the Minister becomes satisfied that the State law no longer

the Minister may, by notice published in the Gazette, revoke the declaration
of the law as a corresponding State law for the purposes of this section.

(3) It is the intention of the Parliament that the Registrar, the Secretary
and the Tribunal should have and be subject to the powers, functions, rights,
liabilities and duties conferred or imposed on the Registrar, the Secretary or
the Tribunal, as the case may be, by a corresponding State law that are
additional to those conferred or imposed by this Act.
