Proposed fees in the following tables assume that additional government funding is secured through the use of section 9(1A) of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 (outlined in Proposal 1). You will notice a column showing the estimated impact if s9(1A) is unsuccessful.
Table 8 rule reference:
Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2011, particularly Part 8 and Schedule 5, Land Transport (Certification and Other Fees) Regulations 2014 and Road User Charges (Administration Fees) Regulations 2014.
Note: a proposed new charge also applies to motor vehicle certifier groups (see Table 17).
Note: discontinued individual fees are now collectively grouped, and costs are spread evenly across all users in that group.
