Input Tax Credit (ITC) Entitlement

You must answer this question in relation to any entitlement to claim back the Goods & Services Tax (GST) component of the CTP premium. Under the Commonwealth GST Law*, this is known as an "Input Tax Credit" (ITC). Guidance on how to respond to the question is provided below, however if you are unsure you should consult your accountant or the Australian Taxation Office about your particular circumstances.

Step 1   Is this vehicle used for business purposes (including Government and non-profit organisations)?

    If Yes - continue with Step 2,
    If No - return to the transaction, answer NO to the question and pay the lower "No ITC Entitlement" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.

Step 2   Is the Registered Owner of this vehicle registered (or required to be registered) for GST?

    If Yes - continue with Step 3,
    If No - return to the transaction, answer NO to the question and pay the lower "No ITC Entitlement" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.

Step 3   Is the Registered Owner of this vehicle entitled to claim an ITC in relation to the CTP Premium?

    If Yes - return to the transaction, answer YES to the question and pay the higher "ITC Entitled" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.
    If No - return to the transaction, answer NO to the question and pay the lower "No ITC Entitlement" total fee (if offered) for the selected renewal period.

If you have answered YES to all 3 questions, you must answer YES and pay the 'ITC Entitled' fee (if offered). Upon payment of any 'ITC Entitled' fee, or standard fee where alternative fees are not offered, a Tax Invoice will automatically be provided with your Certificate of Registration.

The "No ITC Entitlement" fee is only available where the vehicle is NOT used for any purpose that entitles the owner to an ITC.

Payment of the incorrect premium may incur a penalty of up to $250.
This penalty is in addition to any premium differential payable.

In addition, if the incorrect premium is paid this constitutes a breach of the Policy of Insurance. Section 124A(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 allows the insurer, by action in a court of competent jurisdiction, to recover from the insured person a portion of the money paid or costs incurred by the insurer in respect of the liability incurred by the insured person. Accordingly, use of the vehicle otherwise than for the purposes stated in your application renders you liable to recovery action in the event that a claim on your policy is paid by the insurer. The insurer considers that an amount of 10% of the money paid or costs incurred by the insurer to be a just and reasonable amount and will accept that sum as settlement of its claim under section 124A(2) of the Motor Vehicles Act 1959.

    *GST Law means the Commonwealth legislation: A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999.

For further information and assistance in determining the appropriate premium please refer to the CTP premium schedule provided with your renewal notice.

About Renew a Registration

The Renew a Registration transaction allows you to renew a vehicle registration while the vehicle remains registered to the same owner.

To process a Renew a Registration transaction you will require the following information, which can be found on the Registration Renewal Notice:-

  • the payment number (eg. 123456789)

  • or
  • the client number assigned to the motor vehicle registration details (eg. A12345), and
  • the plate type (eg. alpha-numeric, personalised, grand prix etc), and
  • the plate number (eg. VHC340).
  • Some types of vehicle registrations cannot be renewed via the Internet as they may have requirements that must be satisfied in person at a Service SA centre. Some examples include: -

  • vehicles requiring an inspection prior to renewal of registration;
  • vehicles recorded as defected, wrecked or stolen;
  • vehicles with any other outstanding requirements.
  • Heavy Vehicles

    When you successfully complete a registration renewal transaction for a heavy vehicle, the registration label and certificate is posted to the registered owner within 10 working days. The vehicle may be driven without displaying a current registration label for up to 30 days from the date the payment is made, or until the label is received (whichever is the earlier).

    Some delegates will be authorised to print registration certificates and labels on-site.

    Registered Operator/Owner

    The 'Registered Operator/Owner' is the person or organisation responsible for the day to day operation of the vehicle.

    If a vehicle is registered in one name only (either individual person or organisation), this client is considered to be the registered operator/owner.

    If a vehicle is registered under a joint ownership, one member of the joint ownership is nominated as the registered operator.

    Delegate

    A person nominated by an Authorised Agent and subsequently granted authority by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles to perform transactions via EzyReg.

    A delegate must be employed by or associated with an Authorised Agent and can only undertake transactions and issue auditable items assigned to the Authorised Agent.

    Authorised Agent

    A person or organisation that has entered into an agreement with the Minister for Transport to use the EzyReg system. The Authorised Agent has overall responsibility for the integrity of the transactions processed and compliance with the guidelines and requirements of the agreement.

    Auditable items (eg. registration certificates, number plates etc) are issued to the Authorised Agent.

    Joint Ownership

    A joint ownership is where a vehicle is registered in more than one owners name (i.e. a minimum of two or up to a maximum of six different clients) and one member is nominated as the registered operator.
