127A Waiver of registration fee for toll users

(1) Application for waiver An individual (an applicant) may apply to Transport for NSW, in a form approved by Transport for NSW, for the waiver of all or half of the registration fee for a registrable light motor vehicle (except for its conditional registration) if—

(a) the commencement date for the registration period is in the 2018–2019 financial year or a subsequent financial year, and

(b) the registration period is not less than 12 months, and

(c) the applicant is entitled to the waiver for that financial year as provided by this clause.

(2) An application for the waiver of half of a registration fee cannot be made before 1 July 2019 unless the applicant is an individual who has been invited or permitted by Transport for NSW to apply for the waiver in relation to tolls paid in the 2018–2019 financial year.

(3) Entitlement to waiver An applicant is entitled to the waiver of all or half of a registration fee for a registrable light motor vehicle payable in a financial year if—

(a) the vehicle is used or proposed to be used—

(i) solely or principally by the applicant, and

(ii) substantially for social or domestic purposes or for pleasure, and

(b) the applicant has paid at least the minimum expenditure amount in tolls for the previous financial year calculated as provided by a minimum expenditure calculation order.

Note.

A light motor vehicle that is used or proposed to be used substantially for purposes other than those referred to in paragraph (a)(ii) (for example, business purposes) will not be covered by this subclause.

(4) An applicant cannot rely on the same minimum expenditure amount in respect of the registration of more than one registrable light motor vehicle.

(5) Transport for NSW may refund to an applicant a registration fee that has already been paid if—

(a) the applicant is entitled to a waiver under this clause, and

(b) Transport for NSW is satisfied that there was a sufficient reason why an application for the waiver was not made at the time of payment.
