These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Transport.

These regulations are made under section 65ZK of the Land Transport Management Act 2003—

(a)

on the advice and with the consent of the Executive Council; and

on the recommendation of the Minister of Transport made in accordance with section 65ZK(2) of the Land Transport Management Act 2003.

Regulations

1 Title

These regulations are the Land Transport Management (Regional Fuel Tax) Regulations 2018.

2 Commencement

These regulations come into force on 28 June 2018.

3 Interpretation

(1)

In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires,—

RFT registration means a registration as a registered RF taxpayer under regulation 10 or as a user of fuel for exempt uses under regulation 12

RFT return means a return filed under section 65V of the Act.

(2)

Unless the context otherwise requires, any other expression used in these regulations that is defined in section 5(1) or 65A of the Act has the same meaning in these regulations as in that section.

4 Transitional, savings, and related provisions

The transitional, savings, and related provisions (if any) set out in Schedule 1 have effect according to their terms.

Part 1 Exempt uses

5 Exempt uses of fuel

(1)

For the purposes of paragraph (e) of the definition of exempt use in section 65A of the Act, the following uses are exempt from regional fuel tax:

(a)

use of fuel for a purpose that falls within regulation 5(1)(a) or (c) to (e) of the Land Transport Management (Apportionment and Refund of Excise Duty and Excise-Equivalent Duty) Regulations 2004:

(c)

use of diesel for home heating or home water heating, if the diesel is delivered by a commercial provider to a fixed tank connected to the home heating or home water heating system.

(2)

To avoid doubt, for the purposes of this regulation and the Act, the uses described in subclause (1)(a) are exempt uses in relation to all fuel within the meaning of section 65A of the Act (not only motor spirits).
