The Draft Regulations for the Trade Exposure Allowance gives effect to the sector
based allowance and provides a list of sectors and subsectors and their respective
trade exposure allowances. The regulations also outline an alternative approach 
to calculate the trade exposure allowance for companies.

In addition, the Trade Exposure Allowance, aims to assist companies that potentially
face competitiveness pressures whilst the performance allowance seeks to encourage
firms to reduce the carbon intensity of their production processes relative to their
peers and promote the competitiveness of local products.
