Following a review of the remittance process in July 2018, Building and Energy published Industry Bulletin 101, which prescribed the information that is required to be provided by permit authorities when remitting BSL payments. This resulted in an increase in overall compliance and reduced the administrative errors and subsequent refunds required.

Building and Energy has conducted a further review and to create efficiencies and streamline the BSL process further, the information to be provided in BSL reports is being expanded and the required format specified. This will align the reporting requirements across all permit authorities.
