Abenshi mu bakiriya b’ingo bashobora kubona kugabanyirizwa ibiciro hagati ya 1% na 6%, naho bamwe bashobora kubona izamuka rigera kuri 2% kugera kuri 4% bitewe n’akarere kabo n’imiterere y’uburyo bakoresha amashanyarazi, nk’ubushyuhe bw’ubutaka cyangwa pompe za pisine zikoresha amashanyarazi nijoro.
Ibi biciro bishya bizatangira gukurikizwa kuva ku itariki ya 1 Nyakanga 2024. AER ivuga ko ibi biciro bishya byashyizweho hashingiwe ku bwiyongere bw’ibiciro by’imiyoboro y’amashanyarazi n’ibikoresho, hamwe n’igabanuka ry’igiciro cy’ibikoresho bikoreshwa mu gucuruza amashanyarazi, cyane cyane muri New South Wales na South Australia, aho ibiciro byagabanutseho 21% na 7% kugeza kuri 11%.
