Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations Commonwealth Consolidated Regulations(1) This regulation applies if motorcycle benefit has been paid to a person.
(2) If the Commission is satisfied that, in the relevant period, the person owns a car that is GST - free, the Commission must:
(a) decide that the person must repay the whole, or a part, of the benefit; and
(b) notify the person, in writing, of:
(i) the decision; and
(ii) the reasons for the decision; and
(iii) the person's right, if dissatisfied with the decision, to request the Commission to review the decision.
(3) An amount to be repaid under a decision under subregulation (2) is a debt due to the Commonwealth.
(4) For subregulation (2), the relevant period for a person is the period beginning on the day when the person purchased the motorcycle to which the motorcycle benefit relates, and ending on the day when the person would be entitled to motorcycle benefit in relation to the purchase of another motorcycle.
Example
For a person who receives motorcycle benefit for a motorcycle purchased on 4 July 2001, the relevant period begins on that day. The period may end 2 years after that day, or the period may end earlier, for example if the motorcycle is used to transport the person for more than 40 000 kilometres before the 2 years has ended.
