The Bank Notes Tax Act 1910 was an Act of the Parliament of Australia which imposed a prohibitive tax on banknotes issued by banks.[1][2] Along with the Australian Notes Act 1910 it effectively ended the use of private currency in Australia.
The Act imposed an annual tax of 10% on "all bank notes issued or re-issued by any bank in the Commonwealth after the commencement of this Act, and not redeemed."[2]
The Act was repealed by the Commonwealth Bank Act 1945,[3] and a fine for issuing private currency imposed.
