Parliament: 40 Session: 1

VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS

1325. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Transport:

I refer to the additional cost or interest charge of quarterly payments for vehicle licensing—registration—in WA.

(1) What is the average cost applied to vehicle registrations for motorists who choose to pay quarterly accounts rather than an up-front yearly payment?

(2) How is this rate calculated and is it cost reflective?

(3) Over the past 12 months, how many motorists have paid vehicle registrations quarterly?

(4) Over the past 12 months, how many Seniors Card holders or pensioners have paid their vehicle registrations quarterly?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question.

(1) As per the Department of Transport website, the light vehicle standard administration recording fee is $10.30 per transaction.

(2) The rate is cost reflective and has decreased by 15 per cent since 2017–18.

(3) There have been 638 053.

(4) There have been 66 399.
