EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 60(1) of the Road Transport (Public Passenger Services) Act 2001 provides that the Minister may, in writing, determine the maximum fares relating to hiring or using a taxi.  A determination under section 60(1) is a disallowable instrument.
 
This determination enables a surcharge of $1.20 (inc GST) to be charged for taxi hirings from locations where a taxi commissionaire service is provided. 

The $1.20 surcharge will be remitted to the Canberra Taxi Industry Association (CTIA) to enable it to recover the costs associated with employing and managing commissionaires at these locations.

No changes are made to other taxi charges by this determination.
