assets for represented persons with a gross asset value of less than $100 000. In 2014-15, assistance provided under this CSO totalled $1.6 million. Electricity Concessions The Tasmanian Government offers several electricity concessions to assist with the cost of this essential service for those members of the Tasmanian community on low or fixed incomes. The Revenue Branch oversees the administration of these electricity concessions by reimbursing electricity retailers and performing integrity checks on the process. Electricity retailers are responsible for administering and processing applications from customers for the concessions. In 2014-15, electricity concessions totalled $39.6 million. More information in relation to electricity concessions is available on the State Revenue Office . Community Support Levy Each year four per cent of the gross profit derived from gaming machines in hotels and clubs in Tasmania is paid into the Community Support Levy. The funds are distributed by Sport and Recreation Tasmania, located within the Department of Premier and Cabinet, and the Department of Health and Human Services, as follows: 25 per cent for the benefit of sport and recreation clubs; 25 per cent for the benefit of charitable organisations; and 50 per cent for the provision of research into gambling, services for the prevention of compulsory gambling, treatment or rehabilitation of compulsive gamblers and community education concerning gambling. Pricing policy Treasury has only limited activities for which the pricing of goods and services is required. In accordance with the Government’s policy on fees and charges, our Department’s normal practice is to adopt a model based on full cost recovery. As at 30 June 2015, we levied fees and charges in accordance with the provisions of one Act and nine Regulations: Gaming Control Act 1993 Duties Regulations 2011 Economic Regulator Regulations 2010 Electricity Supply Industry Regulations 2008 Gaming Control Regulations 2014 Land Tax Regulations 2010 Liquor Licensing (Fees) Regulations 2005 Retirement Benefits Regulations 2005 Retirement Benefits (Parliamentary Superannuation) Regulations 2012 Taxation Administration Regulations 2010
