Final CCS webinars are this week – register now!
If you’re a PAYG (Pay As You Go) importer, make sure you register for a webinar about the 1 June Clean Car Standard changes.
Both webinars will cover exactly the same information – so you only need to come to one. Email us at CCSImporter@nzta.govt.nz to let us know which one you want to attend, and we’ll send you a link to join.
You can apply for AML verification now
If you want to be able to transfer credits between accounts (including trading with other importers) you need to be Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verified first.
Waka Kotahi has engaged an AML provider, AML Solutions, to undertake customer due diligence on our behalf.
They’ll require you to provide information that confirms your name, date of birth and postal address – such as your driver’s license or birth certificate. In the case of companies or trusts, the directors, shareholders, trustees and non-discretionary trust beneficiaries may also need to provide this information.
To start the process, get in touch with the Clean Car Standard team online through your CO2 account (use the Contact Us button), call us on 0800 141 801 or email CCSImporter@nzta.govt.nz.
Other resources to help you prepare for 1 June Clean Car Standard changes
From 1 June, if you’re a PAYG importer you’ll need to start paying charges as you accept vehicles in your account, and pay any charges incurred between 1 January and 31 May. Credits will also be available for offsetting charges and transferring with other importers.
We’ve got plenty of information about the changes on our dedicated ‘1 June changes’ webpage: 1 June CCS changes.
Here you’ll find more information about the changes – including:
- how to make payments
- how to use credits to offset charges
- how to transfer credits
- AML verification
- the CCS Account Register.
You’ll also find links to other useful resources including our 1 June changes flyer, a video explaining the payment and credit process, and more.
