Introduction
If you're a pensioner, you may be eligible for concessions on your vehicle registration in NSW.
Eligible pensioners do not pay:
- registration fees
- motor vehicle tax
- conditional registration fees
- transfer fee and stamp duty (eligible Department of Veterans' Affairs pensioners only)
The registration concession is for one vehicle per person. If the vehicle is registered in joint names the concession applies only if both of you are eligible.
