Tasmania act
This Act amends the Vehicle and Traffic Act 1999 to fix two historical annual adjustment rates used for heavy‑vehicle charges (3.2% for the year from 1 July 2009 and 2.4% for the year from 1 July 2011) and declares any taxes collected under the earlier version of Schedule 2 to have been validly collected. It therefore affects operators who paid those heavy‑vehicle charges and the Crown’s revenue records by confirming past adjustment calculations and collections.
