I, the Honourable Gordon Samuels, AC, Governor of the State of New South Wales, with the advice of the Executive Council, and in pursuance of section 2 (2) of, and Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1996, do, by this my Proclamation, appoint 1 December 1996 as the day on

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The object of this Proclamation is to commence a provision of the Stature Law

(Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1996 that amends section 3 (2) (d) of the Motor Vehicles
Taxation Act 1988.

The Motor Vehicles Taxation Act 1988 provides for the imposition of motor vehicle tax on the registration of motor vehicles. The Act provides for a lower rate of tax if a motor vehicle is used substantially for private purposes and in the opinion of the Roads and Traffic Authority its use for any other purpose is minimal.

The amendment removes a distinction that prevents certain vehicles (which are used for substantially private purposes) from being treated as private vehicles.
