6.2.1 General Provisions

Document

Apart from the application of section 45A, cancellation of subsidy is the most severe measure available under the Subsidy Scheme. Any decision to cancel subsidy must not be made lightly.

Delegates must remember that cancelling subsidy is a discretionary provision within the legislation, and any decision to cancel should be made with full knowledge of all the facts.

Generally, the policy is to cancel subsidy in all cases where any of the circumstances specified in the legislation apply, except where such circumstances can be corrected without the need to cancel.
