Road User Charges / A Class Rego

Post by MNC »

Hi All,

Question for anyone that might be able to help:

1. If I was to fix up a diesel truck that is currently on A Class rego (Farm Vehicle) and put it back on road would I have to pay RUC on KMs travelled off road to get back to normal Rego?

2. What if I were to convert the truck to a petrol engine? Would I have to get RUC up to date first?

This wagon has done about 95,000 kms since last RUC paid so think that would cost a fortune to bring up to date.

3. What does it cost to register a homebuilt vechicle for the first time? (this might be a cheaper option)

I believe that because it is currently registered as a farm vehicle you should not have to bring it up to date ...

From the LTSA website ...

Call our RUC Call Centre on 0800 655 644.
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

umm i think you can claim the mileage back but i think you have to buy the mileage before you can claim it back yes silly i know but that is bureaucracy

i´m not sure if that applies to farm vehicles but with trucks you have to do it that way

you never know there maybe someone there with their head on straight :lol: :lol:
my 4wd is not a truck

old mercedes never die but sometimes they do need some love

older cars are good,mercedes are better,older mercedes are the best
