Greetings,
Please see the below update from VIA regarding how CCS may impact stock you already have here in NZ:
CCS, have your penalty attracting vehicles complied before 1 January 2023!
VIA reminds members to have all vehicles you have in stock that will incur a CO2 penalty on 1 January complied and MR2A issued before 1 January.
Vehicles emitting over the CO2 threshold will attract a penalty that must be either paid or offset by vehicles attracting credits.
The Minister recently announced a deferment of payment (not the obligation to pay), this means the penalties will start to accrue on January 1 but, these penalties will not be billed until 1 June. On 1 June all accrued penalties will be billed and you will be liable to pay at that stage.
The CCS also means that importers who have vehicles in stock that are waiting for them to reach 20 years to qualify for registration under the respective Rules for Emissions, Frontal Impact, Steering (LHD) and Brakes (ESC) will get a double whammy as these vehicles will be subject to paying the fee under the discount scheme and the CCS CO2 fee.
If you need any further information regarding the CCS, please contact us at customerservices@autohub.co.nz
Kind regards
