Administered revenue

Administered revenues are revenues relating to the course of ordinary activities performed by the department on behalf of the Australian Government.

Administered revenue collections are transferred to the Official Public Account maintained by the Department of Finance and Deregulation.

The charge payable by an individual applying for registration as a migration agent is administered revenue. The fee is set in accordance with the Migration Agents Registration Application Charge Act 1997.

Until 30 September 2013, GST was deducted from agent application fees and remitted to the Australian Taxation Office. From 1 October 2013, it was determined that GST did not apply to this charge.

Administered revenue generated from migration agent application fees amounted to $7.8 million for the financial year 2013–14 exclusive of GST.
