EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the regulation)

These regulations provide that, after 30 June 2001 –

(a) a light vehicle (a motor vehicle or trailer with a gross vehicle mass not exceeding 4.5 tonnes) may be registered for a period of 6 months or, as is presently the case, 12 months; and

(b) the fee for registering a heavy vehicle (a motor vehicle or trailer with a gross vehicle mass exceeding 4.5 tonnes) for a period of 3 months or 6 months will be calculated in accordance with a statutory formula rather than a fixed amount and, as a result, the fee will be slightly reduced.
