Illustration for Local Government Act 1974

You are looking at a notice about a fuel tax that local authorities will charge. This tax is part of the Local Government Act 1974, which you can read more about in section 185 or section 187. The tax will be applied in certain areas and will start on a specific date.

The tax rates will be as follows: for motor spirits, it will be 0.66 cents, 0.44 cents, or 0.22 cents per litre, and for diesel fuel, it will be 0.33 cents, 0.22 cents, or 0.11 cents per litre. You can see these rates in a table that shows the different scales.

The person in charge of the taxing authority, called the Principal Administrative Officer, is responsible for this notice, and they work for the authority that collects the tax in that area.
