s9 5 s9 Motor Accident Insurance Amendment (No. 1) No. 65, 2000 ‘ SCHEDULE 1 ‘ TABLE OF VEHICLE CLASSES AND CTP INSURANCE PREMIUMS sections 4 and 5 Class 1 Description of class 8 Cars and station wagons . . . . . . Annual CTP premium 9 $ 286.00 8 Vehicles in 2 or more classes If a particular motor vehicle falls within 2 or more classes specified in the table of vehicle classes, the annual insurance premium is the highest fixed for any of the classes (see section 5(2)). However, if a vehicle is used only for primary production, the annual premium is subject to an upper limit of $128.70 (see section 5(3)). 9 CTP premiums The CTP premium includes 10c stamp duty and the goods and services tax payable under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cwlth). If the registration period for a vehicle is more than 6 months but less than 1 year, or 6 months or less and the vehicle is registered to a common expiry date, the premium is a proportion of the annual premium. If the registration period for a vehicle is 6 months or less and the vehicle is not registered to a common expiry date, the premium is a proportion of the annual premium plus an additional premium of $8. However, the premium can not be less than $10 (see section 5(4)). A motor vehicle within class 9 may be used for a maximum permitted number of days (the days need not be consecutive) during the currency of its CTP insurance policy for other purposes that would place the vehicle within class 10 or 11 if the registered owner pays the insurer of the vehicle a surcharge equal to the higher of the following amounts— (a) $4 for each day of changed usage; (b) $10 (see section 5(6)). The maximum permitted number of days is the number of whole days being the proportion of 14 days that the number of days in the term of the policy bears to 365 (see section 5(11)). If a motor vehicle is to be used for racing, pacemaking, or in reliability, speed or other trials, the premium is increased by a surcharge of $10 for each day of the registration period on which the motor vehicle is to be used for the purpose (see section 5(10)).

The administering agency is the Motor Accident Insurance Commission. © State of Queensland 2000 14 Trailers If a person is required to register a trailer under the Interstate Road Transport Act 1985 (Cwlth), CTP insurance must be obtained under class 24. The Motor Accident Insurance Act 199 es 4 tablishes a scheme under which the insurer of a motor vehicle is the insurer of a trailer (other than a trailer for which CTP insurance is required under class 24) if personal injury is caused by, through or in connection with, the trailer while it is attached to the vehicle, or when it becomes accidentally detached from the vehicle. In other cases, the Nominal Defendant is the insurer if the motor vehicle accident happens in Queensland. A person who may take a trailer outside Queensland should consider obtaining insurance cover for personal injury caused by, through or in connection with, the trailer.
