Places of Interest, Activity and Amusement (POIAA)

Find out how this licence fee was set:

C1.2	Tariff	Background Music
	Formulation	Tiered rate by area (m2)
(i)	Processes/methodologies	Consultation occurred throughout 2018 via the OneMusic website and an emailed link to the consultation papers to a group of 35 industry associations, including Australian Museums & Galleries Association and Australian Amusement, Recreation and Leisure Association.
	Underlying data used	APRA generally uses a mix of relevant data sources to determine licence rates and impact on a particular business. This includes common sources of music, shifts in demand and changes in technology.
	Summary of Analyses/Evaluations	None
(ii)	Tribunal Decisions	Rates for the APRA component were set by the Tribunal in 2006 (CT5 of 2003). PPCA rates consistent with the Tribunal’s decision to confirm the value of PPCA rights are broadly comparable to the value of the public performance rights in musical works (CT2 of 2004).
(iii)	Use of ACCC Guidelines: Hypothetical Bargain	No
	Use of ACCC Guidelines: Survey Evidence	No
	Use of ACCC Guidelines: Benchmarks	Rate structures charged individually by APRA AMCOS and PPCA under their separate schemes. Very similar to the ‘Retail & General’ rates, which POIAA were previously licensed under.
(iv)	Direct Licensing	Yes (opt out and license back available). 48.25% fee reduction available where the licensee only uses either APRA AMCOS works or PPCA sound recordings.
(v)	Other Matters	Use of physical size of the premises is a common method for determining licence fees for public performance of music where there is no box office or entry fee applicable.
