Current
information regarding the
ACT Concessional Registration Scheme is available
from the
Council of ACT Motor Clubs
The following
information relates to stamp duty payable on historically
registered vehicles upon attendance at a Registration Office and
when applying for "V" plates. Many of our members are being charged
stamp duty because the RTA shop fronts are not aware of the
rules.
This information was provided to the Club Committee by Road User
Services (see purple font for the authority who released the
information). Unless the owner seeks exemption under the rule via a
Statutory Declaration, the RTA will charge stamp duty when he/she
are entitled to the exemption.
While the rule does not specifically state motor cycles are
included, the interpretation of the term "vehicle" applies equally
to a car or a motor cycle. The link at the bottom will enable you
to download a Statutory Declaration form to address the exemption.
Members seeking Registration are encouraged to complete the form
prior to attendance at the Registration Office and present it at
the appropriate time.
"Duties
Act 1999, Rule 9.2 Section 217
(1)
Duty under this chapter is not chargeable on an application to
register a veteran, vintage or historic vehicle if:
* (a) The vehicle had not been registered under the Vehicle
Registration Act or a corresponding law during the 2 years
immediately before the application for registration; and
* (b) The registration would be the first registration of the
vehicle after its restoration; and
* (c) On registration the vehicle would be allocated numberplates
that carry the words veteran car, vintage car or historic
car.
(2)
If:
* (a) Within the period of 3 years immediately following a
registration in relation to which no duty is chargeable under
subsection (1) a further application is made for registration of
the relevant vehicle under the Vehicle Registration Act; and
* (b) The vehicle is owned by the person who owned it at the time
of the registration referred to in subsection (1); and
* (c) On the further registration the vehicle would not be
allocated numberplates that carry the words veteran car, vintage
car or historic car;
There is payable, on the first such further application for
registration, an amount of tax equal to the tax that would have
been payable on the first application for registration of the
vehicle after its restoration if subsection (1) had not been
applicable.
(3)
For this section, a vehicle is a veteran, vintage or historic
vehicle if it is such a vehicle within the meaning of the
regulations under the Vehicle Registration Act.
