Motor Vehicle Duty Relief

If your motor vehicle was destroyed in a declared natural disaster, the NSW government may be able to refund any motor vehicle duty you pay on a replacement vehicle.

They may also be able to:

• give you more time to lodge any documents or returns
• defer enforcing any fines against you
• extend your payment deadlines
• agree not to charge you interest
• arrange for you to pay any debts to us in instalments.

You may be eligible for a motor vehicle duty refund if:

• your vehicle was destroyed in a declared NSW Severe Weather and Flooding Event in the specified period, and
• you paid duty on a replacement vehicle, and
• your insurance did not cover the duty for a replacement vehicle (if your destroyed vehicle was comprehensively insured).
