After just raising our ACC Levies ('Free' medical care) I have just
received the registration reminder for my sons yamaha 250 SRX. The rego.
has gone up to $405 (dearer than my V8!) and they have slapped a $30
'Motorcycle Safety Levy' on as well.
"This is based on a similar levy in Victoria, Australia, which has
helped achieve a big fall in injuries to motorcyclists.
How it will work in NZ is still being worked out-however, it will be
used only for motorcycle safety programmes......"
So the cheeky bastards are now taking a tax even before they have
decided what it will be used for!!....but they will use it. Lucky I'm
only paying for 3 bikes and two cars. The price of good living I
suppose......
