All remuneration packages should continue to be costed to include the parking space levy (where applicable), fringe benefits tax, appropriate plate fees and the standard operating leases offered by State Fleet Services for the particular type of vehicle concerned.

It would be appreciated if you would ensure that the above information is made available to all appropriate staff within your administration and adjustments to SES remuneration packages made accordingly.

Note: The Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10 per cent should be added to NRMA membership costs from 1 July 2000. GST is also expected to impact on comprehensive insurance and running costs. The compulsory third party (CTP) insurance will be exempt from GST. A further Circular will be issued to clarify the position relating to GST on SES Motor Vehicle Charges when full details are known.
