The next stage is Royal Assent from the Governor General and then the Bill becomes the new Customs and Excise Act. We are a short step away from having a modern Act that is easier to use and understand, more flexible, and better meets the needs of individuals and industry.
A comprehensive communications and education programme on the changes and what they mean is being developed and will be rolled out in coming months ahead of implementation of the Act on 1 October 2018.
