Object to a commercial passenger vehicle service levy assessment

If you receive a commercial passenger vehicle service levy assessment or reassessment notice that you disagree with, you can lodge an objection via our online portal. An objection is a formal internal review for resolving disputes about assessments and is handled by a person independent of the original decision.

Your objection must challenge the legal basis of the assessment and highlight the particular aspects that you consider incorrect.

You must lodge your objection within 60 days of receiving your assessment or it can be refused at our discretion. If you are lodging your objection after this time, you must provide reasons for the delay.

1. Where to object

   Log in to the online portal and select the ‘object to an assessment’ button located in the ‘assessments’ section.
