New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) Subject to subsection (3) and to any regulations made under this Act, every application under section 8 for a licence shall be accompanied by the appropriate road user charge for that licence calculated in accordance with Schedule 3 together with the prescribed administration fee.
(2) Subject to subsection (3), where a licence is issued under this Act, the amount of the appropriate road user charge for the licence and the prescribed administration fee shall, until paid in full to the Registrar or the chief executive, constitute a debt due to the Crown by the applicant for the licence, and may be recovered accordingly in any court of competent jurisdiction.
( 3) Where the chief executive is of the opinion, after considering the road wear that is likely to be caused by the vehicle to which the licence relates, that a road user charge calculated in accordance with Schedule 3 is excessive in respect of any particular licence, he may, in his absolute discretion, remit part of the charge; and if the full charge has been paid may cause the part remitted to be refunded to the applicant for the licence.
