38E. Rebate for applicable vehicles with licences issued before 1 January 2021 and valid on or after that date
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2020.
There is a rebate for every licence for an applicable vehicle that is —
issued by the Registrar before 1 January 2021; and
valid on or after 1 January 2021.
The amount of the rebate is the difference between —
the fee paid for the licence for the applicable vehicle under rule 36, 36A, 36B, 36C, 36E, 37(1) or 38B(4), in respect of the period of the licence after 31 December 2020; and
the fee applicable to the licence under these Rules if the licence had been issued on 20 December 2020 for the period mentioned in sub‑paragraph (a).
The rebate calculated according to paragraph (2) in relation to a licence for an applicable vehicle may only be set off against the amounts in the Nineteenth Schedule in the order in which they are treated as accruing due (as specified in the Nineteenth Schedule), beginning with the earliest.
If, upon the de-registration of the applicable vehicle, the rebate is not extinguished under paragraph (3), then the Registrar must refund the unextinguished amount to the last registered owner of the applicable vehicle.
To avoid doubt, the rebate under this rule is in addition to any other rebates granted by the Registrar under these Rules.
