(a)if the result is not more than $100—to the nearest multiple of 5 cents (rounding one-half upwards); or

(b)if the result is more than $100 but not more than $1,000—to the nearest multiple of 10 cents (rounding one-half upwards); or

(c)if the result is more than $1,000 but not more than $5,000—to the nearest dollar (rounding one-half upwards).

Example—If a fee were 35 fee units and the value of a fee unit were $1.015, the number of dollars obtained by multiplying 35 by $1.015 would be $35.525. Because $35.525 is halfway between $35.50 and $35.55, it is rounded upwards, so the amount of the fee would be $35.55.s 3A prev s 3A ins 2020 SL No. 250 s 32 (retro)exp 31 March 2021 (see s 3A(3))pres s 3A ins 2022 SL No. 79 s 1673Bs 3B ins 2020 SL No. 250 s 32exp 31 March 2021 (see s 3B(4))3CFee exemption or reduction for applications for renewal of registration expiring between 1 February 2021 and 30 June 2022(1)This section applies in relation to an application for renewal of a registrant’s registration made under section 22 of the Act if the registration expires during the period—
