Fair Trading (Motor Vehicle Repair Industry) (Fees) Determination 2013 (No 2) 
Disallowable instrument DI2013-291
made under the
Fair Trading (Motor Vehicle Repair Industry) Act 2010, s 55 (Determination of fees)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The fee determination sets fees for the motor vehicle repair industry.  The determination replicates the Fair Trading (Motor Vehicle Repair Industry) (Fees) Determination 2013 that it revokes and replaces.  The only change is that the new fee determination provides fees for three year licences and provides that fees can be paid quarterly or annually. 

The changes to the fee determination follow the commencement on 22 August 2013 of the Justice and Community Safety Legislation (Red Tape Reduction No 1 – Licence Periods) Amendment Act 2013.  The Act provides for the issue of licences of up to three years for the motor vehicle repair industry.  

The new determination provides that the fee for a three year licence is three times the price of a one year licence.  For example the fee for a three year licence under item 419 of the existing fee determination is $828 which is three times the existing fee of $276.  

Licensees will be able to elect to apply for either a one or a three year.  

The instrument also provides that fees can be paid quarterly or annually.
