Thanks for the hint: I had no idea this was even possible.

Yeah. Govt at the time took $50 million extra when they made a mistake with the diesel ute rego. Wouldn't give it back after admitting it was wrong.
Must be some real bastards in the govt departments who advise the ministers.

Crimes act 1961 defines theft as:

"dishonestly and without claim of right, using or dealing with any property with intent to deprive any owner permanently of that property or of any interest in that property after obtaining possession of, or control over, the property in whatever manner."

Surely $50 million extra dollars stolen should have had heads rolling? Oh wait it was retroactively rushed through a flawed law change? Not in NZ surely :D

Just buy the amount you normally purchase ie 10000 every month for the three months then it doesn’t look as suspicious as buying 30000 at once. Well that’s going to be how I do it, see what happens they are to useless to check on people anyway

They removed 25 cents off the tax on petrol at the pumps, nothing stopping you filling numerous 200 litre drums. But they don't want you buying bulk RUC.

For those who think you are going to get 20000km at discount

Im usually pretty good at reading stuff but I cant make sense of that at all.

Don't worry. It was lost on me too.:wtfsmilie:

so if you do 20000km a year you can only buy 5000km. your normal 3 months worth

I wonder how many millions they are going to spend to audit this

Soooo... If we have surplus km's (i.e. just topped up) we can purchase an 'overlap licence' to claim the equivalent to a 36% deduction in price and just pay the extra? Did I get that right?




Soooo... Can someone explain how that works using the little words??????????????? Got me stuffed.

I've been flicking the Hilux odo that much any purchase of RUC's would trigger a red flag.
