6Motor Tax – Heavy vehicles

About the Heavy Vehicle Motor Tax

From the 1st of July 2016 the motor tax charged for heavy vehicle in all states and territories of Australia (except Western Australia and Northern Territory) will have two parts;

  1. a road use charge to recover the costs of road wear and tear (retained by States and Territories), and;
  2. a regulatory component to fund the operations of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR)

For a breakdown of the new charges and a description of the different heavy vehicle types refer to the Breakdown of Motor Tax below.

What is the NHVR?

On the 10 February 2014, the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) commenced allowing the National Heavy Vehicle Regular (NHVR) to undertake a number of heavy vehicle regulatory functions on behalf of states and territories. The NHVR is based in Queensland and is Australian’s independent Regulator for all vehicles over 4.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Mass.

Why has the change occurred?

In November 2012 the Transport and Infrastructure Council (i.e. State and Territory Ministers) directed the National Transport Commission (NTC) to undertake a comprehensive review of the heavy vehicle charging system. In May 2013 the Council endorsed the NTC proceeding with a charges Determination on  the basis of its review recommendations.

As part of the commencement of the HVNL the intergovernmental agreements between the Commonwealth and States and Territories provided that the ongoing costs of the NHVR would be recovered from the heavy vehicle industry through registration charges.

The NTC conducted an extensive national consultation. For more information - Regulatory Impact Statement.

The heavy vehicle charges in Tasmania are contained in The Vehicle and Traffic Act 1999 and the amendments to this Act to reflect the new charges have been passed by both Houses in the Tasmanian Parliament.

How is motor tax calculated?

Currently the motor tax heavy vehicle pricing in Australia is based on a pay as you go (PAYGO) cost base that includes a fixed annual registration charge (collected by jurisdictions) and a fuel-based road user charge (collected by the Australian Government).

PAYGO aims to recover the attributable costs of road wear and tear for each vehicle type, and a share of common costs which benefit all road users.

Heavy vehicle charges from the 1st of July 2016 will initially be set under the Heavy Vehicle Pricing Determination and adjusted annually to enable charges to keep up with expenditure.

Why are the prices different for each vehicle type?

The current methodology for calculating the road user charge reflects historical average network-wide costs attributable to heavy vehicles. However, recovering costs in this way does not reflect the actual costs imposed by an individual truck on a particular route. This limits the extent to which existing road-user charging provides incentives for the efficient use of the road network.

The Determination updates the assumptions and methodology on which charges are based using data, and changes the way charges are allocated across the articulated vehicle fleet to better represent the load carrying capacity that results in wear and tear on roads.

This has resulted in a reallocation of charges among heavy vehicle types with charges for some heavy vehicle types increasing and others decreasing.

Will I still be able to apply for 40% rebates of motor tax for heavy vehicles?

Tasmania will continue to offer the 40% rebate to eligible operators i.e. farming, interchangeable trailers and 3 axle buses.  The 40% rebate will be off both components of the motor tax (road use charge and regulatory component).

How can I find out more about the national laws for heavy vehicles?

For more information on the charges you can visit the National Transport Commission website at www.ntc.gov.au. For information on the National Heavy vehicle law (HVNL) you can visit the National Heavy Vehicle Regulators website - www.nhvr.gov.au or call - 1300 696 487.

9Periodic payments

Periodic registration provides the option for registered operators to register vehicles for a period less than 12 months. The period of registration can be changed when the vehicle's registration falls due for renewal or is re-registered.

For registrations that are due for payment from 1 July 2021, there are three, six or 12 months options for both light and heavy vehicles (with a gross vehicle mass of 4.5t or more). It does not include light trailer registration which continues to be payable six or 12 monthly.

There are additional charges for registering vehicles for periods less than 12 months.

Periodic registration is not available to common expiry registration.

How to use the periodic payment formula

Periodic payments are normally calculated automatically on our data base. The formula is complex. It is based on the number of days in any given 3 or 6 month period. Each component of the total registration cost is calculated separately.

The payment due for a 12-month registration, the “annual fee”, is the sum of the current:

  • registration fee
  • fire levy
  • motor tax
  • MAIB premium
  • duty on the MAIB premium
  • GST on the MAIB premium
  • road safety levy.

The payment due for a 3-month registration and 6-month registration is the sum of:

  • the relevant fraction of the payment due for a 12-month registration
  • administrative fee

The relevant fraction of the payment due for a 12-month registration is calculated using the following formula:

Relevant Fraction equals Annual Fee times number of days in registration period divided by number of days in Registration Period

where,

  • Annual Fee is the payment due for a 12-month registration
  • Number of Days in the Registration Period is the number of calendar days in the particular three or six month registration period
  • Number of days in 12 Months is
    • 365 days for a non-leap year
    • 366 days for a leap year.

The value of the administrative fee is shown in Table 1.

Note:  to calculate the value of a component of the registration payment for a 3-month or 6-month registration (the component fraction), use the following equation:

Component Fraction equals Annual Fee times number of days in registration period divided by number of days in Registration Period

where,

  • Annual Fee is the value of the component due for a 12-month registration
  • Number of Days in the Registration Period is the number of calendar days in the particular three or six month registration period
  • Number of days in 12 Months is
    • 365 days for a non-leap year
    • 366 days for a leap year.

10Common expiry

What is common expiry?

Common expiry allows companies and incorporated associations to select a date on which all of their vehicles’ registration will expire.

Are there any restrictions on the number vehicles with common expiry?

The minimum number of vehicles that can have common expiry is three.

There is no maximum limit.

How does it works?

If a client is registered for common expiry all vehicles registered to the client is automatically on the common expiry (this includes disposal and transfer of vehicles)

If registered for common expiry, you will continue to receive individual renewal notices until the registrations are paid up to the common expiry date. When the registrations are all paid up to the common expiry you will then receive a common expiry Invoice.

Common expiry invoices renew vehicle registration for 12 months only.

If you receive your common expiry invoice but do not wish to renew some registrations listed, please strike out the registrations you do not wish to renew, amend the payment amount and issue a cheque for the amount payable. (If paying by EFT, please send revised common expiry invoice to tes@stategrowth.tas.gov.au after payment has been made. EFT details can be provided upon request)

Once the invoice is paid, individual registration certificates for each vehicles are sent noting the fees paid, inc GST.

If a common expiry invoice is issued, but the registrations are paid by other means, certificates noting the fees paid including GST will not be sent.

How do I request common expiry?

If you wish to request common expiry for your vehicle registrations, please email the below information to tes@stategrowth.tas.gov.au

  • Company name:
  • Physical address:
  • Postal address:
  • Common expiry date: (can be any date, excl 29 February)
  • Provide one registration number to ensure correct client file:

If you wish to have common expiry registered for more than one client, please repeat the details above for that client.

What happens next?

You will receive registration renewals for each vehicle from their existing registration expiry date to the date you have chosen for common expiry.

After all vehicle registration have been renewed to the common expiry date, all vehicles will have the same registration period and a common expiry invoice will be sent to renew all vehicles at once.

Any vehicle disposed of, transferred to or established to the client will automatically be included in the common expiry.

How is common expiry calculated?

Common Expiry is calculated using the following equation:

_________(fees) x no. days to expiry_________365
(divide by 366 if 29th February falls in period)

=  Subtotal

Subtotal + plate fee + premium duty ($20.00) +
Inspection
(if required) + market value duty* (if required)

= Total Amount Payable
