The changes came into effect on November 1. This means that caravan owners will now save up to $471 off their rego. The motor vehicle tax is part of the cost associated with registering a vehicle in NSW, but eligible caravan owners will now benefit from a reduction.
Not only will this put money back into hip pockets, it will encourage more people to travel and do business in NSW. The Liberals and Nationals recognised the need to reduce costs associated with these popular vehicles. The change will apply to towed caravans and purpose-built camper trailers weighing up to 4.5 tonnes, putting a saving of up to $471 back into the pockets of owners.
Key points include: 120,000 caravaners to benefit from the reduction; Savings range from $46 to $471; The 40 per cent reduction applies to privately-owned towed caravans and purposed-built camper trailers, weighing 255kg to 4.5 tonne; A pensioner that elects to have free registration for a vehicle other than their caravan or camper trailer, is still be eligible for the 40 per cent discount
Privately registered towed caravans and purpose-built camper trailers will be eligible for the 40 per cent reduction in motor vehicle tax. Customers will still be required to pay the standard NSW registration fees including the annual fee of $65.
