From 1 July 2015 the ACC portion of your licensing fee has gone down by an average of 41% depending on your type of vehicle (this does not apply to motorcycles).
For passenger vehicles, the ACC levy that you will pay depends on the vehicle's make, model and year of manufacture.

Issue with ACC vehicle risk ratings
There have been some technical problems with ACC's introduction of vehicle risk ratings, which went live on 1 July 2015.
While all vehicle owners have correctly received a reduction in their motor vehicle levy, a small number of vehicles are owed a further reduction.
For the majority of vehicle owners this problem will be fixed before the time comes to renew your rego.
If you own one of the vehicles affected by this issue and have already paid for your rego, ACC will contact you directly and provide you with a refund.
