Repeal the heading, substitute:

2  Regulation 7B

Omit “, for any financial year after 30 June 2013 (the relevant financial year)”, substitute “for a full year of registration that begins during the 2013‑2014, 2014‑2015 or 2015‑2016 financial year (the relevant financial year)”.

3  After regulation 7B

Insert:

 (1) For subsection 5(3) of the Act, the amount of the charge for the registration of a vehicle for a full year of registration that begins during the 2016‑2017 financial year is worked out using the formula:

where:

regulatory component means:

 (a) if the vehicle is a load carrying vehicle of a kind mentioned in the table in subregulation (5)—the amount set out in that table for that kind of load carrying vehicle; or

 (b) if the vehicle is a trailer of a kind mentioned in the table in subregulation (6)—the amount set out in that table for that kind of trailer; or

 (c) if the vehicle is a bus of a kind mentioned in the table in subregulation (7)—the amount set out in that table for that kind of bus.

road component means:

 (a) if the vehicle is a load carrying vehicle of a kind mentioned in the table in subregulation (2)—the amount set out in that table for that kind of load carrying vehicle; or

 (b) if the vehicle is a trailer of a kind mentioned in the table in subregulation (3)—the amount set out in that table for that kind of trailer; or

 (c) if the vehicle is a bus of a kind mentioned in the table in subregulation (4)—the amount set out in that table for that kind of bus.

Example: The road component set out in subregulation (2) for a truck (type 1) is $418 and the regulatory component set out in subregulation (5) for a truck (type 1) is $202. The amount of the charge for the registration of a truck (type 1) is therefore $620.
