Explanatory note
This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect.
These regulations, which come into force on 1 April 2005, amend the Land Transport Management (Apportionment and Refund of Excise Duty and Excise-Equivalent Duty) Regulations 2004.
The main amendments arise from the Customs and Excise (Motor Spirits) Amendment Act 2005. Among other things, that Act increased excise duty and excise-equivalent duty on motor spirits by 5 cents per litre (excluding goods and services tax).
Regulations 3(b) and 4 make proportionate adjustments to the following:
•the amounts of excise duty and excise-equivalent duty to be paid to the national land transport fund; and
•the rate at which those duties, and goods and services tax, are refunded.
Section 41(5) of the Land Transport Management Act 2003 applies to refunds of those duties and goods and services tax paid in satisfaction of liabilities incurred before the commencement of these regulations.
Regulation 3(a) makes an amendment consequential on the enactment of the Public Finance Amendment Act 2004, and regulation 5 corrects a drafting error.
Issued under the authority of the Acts and Regulations Publication Act 1989.
