How it works
If your vehicle is eligible you do not have to do anything to receive the discount.
The registration notice and the registration renewal transaction will advise if the discount has been applied.
The discount will automatically be applied to vehicle registration fees when:
- you receive your notification that your light vehicle or motorcycle is due for registration, or
- when a new light vehicle or motorcycle registration is established.
The one-off discount on annual registration is for:
- $100 on privately registered light motor vehicles, and
- $80 on privately registered motorcycles.
If you register every 6 months
If you pay your registration for a short-term period (for example 6 months), a pro-rata rate will be deducted from the motor vehicle tax for each 6-month period of:
- $50 on privately registered light motor vehicles, and
- $40 on privately registered motorcycles.
