ROAD TRANSPORT (GENERAL) (REGISTRATION FEES) DETERMINATION 2002

DI 2002 - 141

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This instrument has the effect of determining fees, payable in advance, for transactions relating to vehicle registration under the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulations 2000.  

This instrument revokes Instrument No. DI2002-52 dated 28 May 2002 and notified on the ACT Legislation Register on 3 June 2002.

The changes in this determination are to the registration fees for light vehicles of the following vehicle types:

•	passenger vehicles
•	goods carrying vehicles
•	equipment trucks
•	motorcycles

The registration fees of these vehicles have been increased to a level which, when combined with the road rescue fee, is equal to the road tax plus administration fee charged in NSW for the corresponding vehicle types.  This increase was one of the budget initiatives announced in the 2002/2003 budget. 

All other fees in the determination are unchanged.  Registration fees for heavy vehicles (Gross Vehicle Mass over 4.5 tonnes) are set nationally and were increased on 1 July 2002.
