Do you spend more than $375 a year in tolls? The Toll Rebate Scheme gives back up to $750 a year. Meanwhile, the Toll Relief scheme offers discounts on 12 month rego if you spent at least $877 up to $1,462 a year on tolls last financial year.
Toll Rebate Scheme in NSW
The Toll Rebate Scheme is forecast to more than double the number of motorists who receive toll relief. This is how it works:
- For tolls paid up to 30 June 2022, you continue to receive vehicle registration relief until 30 June 2023.
- The Registration Relief Scheme ends 30 June 2023.
- For tolls paid from 1 July 2022, you receive quarterly rebates in early 2023 under the new program.
- The M5 South West Cashback Scheme continues but, if you opt-in to this scheme, you can’t get further toll relief on the M5 South-West.
Who is eligible for relief on tolls?
Eligible private and small business motorists can get toll relief. They can receive a 40% rebate for every dollar over $375 spent on tolls, up to a maximum of $750.
Who is eligible?
- NSW residents who drive privately registered light vehicles
- Those with an E-Toll or Transurban Linkt account, and License plate(s) linked to their personal toll account.
Small business customers must have a toll account with an ABN and up to two active light vehicle tags.
Drivers can expect payments in their bank accounts to be backdated to July 1, 2022.
Toll Relief
The Toll Relief scheme offers discounts on 12 month rego if you spent at least $877 up to $1,462 a year on tolls in the 12 months to 30 June 2022.
You can claim one of:
- Free 12 month registration if you spent $1,462 ($27 a week) or more
- Half price 12 month registration if you spent $877 ($16 a week) or more on tolls.
You need to have a privately registered vehicle linked to one toll account. Toll Relief cannot be used with M5 Southwest Cashback.
