Sale of Motor Vehicles (Fees) Determination 2013 (No 2) 
Disallowable instrument DI2013-298
made under the
Sale of Motor Vehicles Act 1977, s 91 (Determination of fees and charges)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The fee determination sets fees under the Sale of Motor Vehicles Act 1977.  The determination replicates the Sale of Motor Vehicles (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 this industry.  

The instrument provides that the fees and charges apply each year.  For example the fee for a three year licence under item 15 will be $1,656 which is three times the yearly fee of $552.00.  

Licensees will be able to elect to apply for a one year licence, a part of a year licence or a three year licence. 

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