Cancelling Nsw Reg And Ctp

[SteveL]

Maybe this should be in the NSW section, but might be of general interest. Also couldn't find anything specific with a search.

I'm considering buying a motorcycle from NSW and shipping to Vic. It just had the reg and presumably CTP renewed last month. In Vic reg+CTP is probably around $500 for a bike of this type and cancelling the reg 1 month after renewal would get a pro-rata refund, probably something of the order of $400 or so (there's always fees.....). In any event does anyone from NSW know if the same would happen there ?? (I'm thinking more of the CTP, being by private companies up there). I would expect so, but would like confirmation.

The reason....well, it's a negotiation point on the price + he won't need to get a RWC.

TIA

afaik, you won't get a refund on CTP.

if it had full comp insurance, then you should get a refund on that, but i believe the CTP just gets transferred to the buyer.

contact the NSW RTA and you will get an accurate answer.

I went through this a while ago when i almost bought a car from NSW to bring to Vic.

Cant remember exactly what happens, but the current owner gets a pro rata refund for the CTP and the rego, as the car/bike etc is going interstate.

So make sure they take that into account. I'm pretty sure it all happens when they return the plates to the RTA or whoever.
