New South Wales Consolidated Regulations

ROAD TRANSPORT (VEHICLE REGISTRATION) REGULATION 2007 - REG 78

78 Refunds of fees

(1) The Authority may make a partial refund of any applicable fee paid in respect of a registrable vehicle if:

(a) the Authority approves an application for the surrender of the registration of the vehicle, or

(b) the Authority cancels the registration of the vehicle and notification of that cancellation has been received by a registered operator.

(2) For the purposes of subclause (1), a partial refund is to be calculated using the formula:

"number of days" is the number of unexpired whole days of the registration period of the vehicle, from the date on which the Authority approves an application for surrender made under clause 40 or cancels the registration of the vehicle concerned.
"period of registration" is the total number of whole days in the period for which the vehicle is registered.
"fee" is the amount of the applicable fee.

(3) The Authority may refund (in whole or in part) any applicable fee paid (whether before or after the commencement of this subclause) by an applicant under clause 10 if the Authority is of the opinion that:

(a) the applicant was the registered operator of a registrable vehicle that was destroyed or rendered beyond repair as a consequence of damage caused to the vehicle by an occurrence that gave rise to an emergency, and

(b) the vehicle to which the application related was a replacement for the damaged vehicle, and

(c) in the circumstances of the case it would be appropriate to refund the fee.

(4) The Authority may deduct from a refund of an applicable fee the amount of any unpaid fees incurred in respect of the vehicle.

(5) If an amount of refund determined in accordance with subclause (2) would comprise an amount that is not a whole number of dollars, the amount of refund is to be adjusted downwards to the next whole number of dollars.

(6) In this clause:
"emergency" has the same meaning as it has in clause 10.
