"Paying fees for clean vehicle standards"

Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

The government can make rules about fees and charges to help pay for the work they do under Part 13, the clean vehicle standard. You might have to pay these fees if you import vehicles or apply to register certain vehicles. The fees can be different for different types of vehicles. The government can also make rules about who has to pay these fees and what happens if you do not pay them. If you are late paying a fee, the Director can reduce or waive the penalty if they think it is fair. The Director's decision is based on the rules made under section 167(1)(j) of the Land Transport Act 1998. Some words in this section have special meanings, which are explained in section 172(1) of the Land Transport Act 1998. These words are Type A vehicle, Type B vehicle, and vehicle importer. You can find more information about these terms in the Land Transport Act 1998.
