Migration Alliance is in receipt of the following information from the AAT:

Application fees are payable in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) in respect of certain types of applications in accordance with the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Regulation 2015 (AAT Regulation) and the Migration Regulations 1994. The amounts of these fees will increase on 1 July 2024.

General, Freedom of Information, Security, Small Business Taxation, and Taxation & Commercial and Divisions From 1 July 2024, the standard application fee will be $1,121.

The application fee payable for review of small business taxation decisions will be $602.

The lower application fee payable for lodging an application in respect of the taxation decisions described in subregulation 20(2) of the AAT Regulation will be $111.

There is no change to the $100 fee that is payable if a person is eligible to pay a concessional fee rather than a standard application fee.
