Motorists

Motorists pay for all injuries involving motor vehicles on public roads, through a combination of:

• a levy paid by motor vehicle owners through their annual vehicle licensing fee (the levy is based on the type of vehicle)
• a levy on petrol sales paid by vehicle users.

ACC proposes:

• maintaining the petrol levy for 2007/2008 at 5.78 cents per litre and increasing the average licensing fee per petrol vehicle to $130.84, resulting in a combined average levy rate of $204.78 per petrol vehicle
• maintaining the existing nine vehicle classifications
• increasing the ACC component of the annual vehicle licensing fee for each vehicle type.
