Motorists

Motorists pay for most injuries involving moving 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:

• increasing the combined average motor vehicle rate from $254.63 to $287.00 per vehicle
• increasing the petrol levy for 2009/10 to 9.90 cents per litre and increasing the average licensing fee per petrol vehicle to $168.45, resulting in a combined average levy rate of $287.00 per petrol vehicle
• maintaining the existing nine vehicle classifications.

We have published our proposed levy rates for 2009/10, and the basis on which we’ve made those proposals.
