That would be on top of the Registration fee, not instead of it - double whammy - no government would reduce the cost of vehicle ownership, just look for ways of making more money from those who wish to own a car or more.Quote:

Cars, buses, trucks, trailers, caravans, motorcycles, etc., etc.
Between that and the GST, the coffers must be be busting at the seams.

If my EV Landy wasn't a daily driver I'd put it on Club plates.
My full rego on it was paid yesterday , it was the normal rego fee for a ute less $100 'green' incentive making it $489.00
I got a seperate invoice for $35.75 Road User Charge based on photos of odometer I sent in for the few months the scheme has been active, 2.5c per km is pretty fair I think, a lot cheaper than paying fuel excise .
Would have used 210L for the 1400km = $89.67 fuel excise based on 42.7c excise per litre.
weather that scheme applies on red plates or not is doubtful.
The CPS is supposedly based on pro rata of a full registration.Quote:

So 704 / 365 = 1.92 per day.
45 x $1.92 = $86.40 which is approximately where the current 45 Day CPS fee is at.
If they decided to hit CPS Holders an additional "tax" based on use/odometer reading it would be an absolute rip-off,
as a lot barely get a few entries in the log book for the year as it is, and even less throughout the last two years with
the Covid-19 event.
I do realise that some CPS vehicles get their full 45 or 90 days of use, perhaps even more with some dishonest permit holders,
but they would have to be a minority.
