In some circumstances, a determination of a waiver is made prior to the billing process. This may be to avoid the distress of an invoice being issued, or due to some other understood circumstances (e.g. in the 2019-20 financial year 178 determinations were made related to the bushfire event).
In these circumstances there is no calculation of the waived fee as it does not enter the billing process, the respective volumes for the billed and unbilled waivers are provided below in Table 3 for full clarity and understanding.
