Federal Interstate Registration Scheme NTC charges

When your Federal Interstate Registration Scheme (FIRS) registration expires, you will be subject to new National Transport Commission (NTC) charges. The configuration code of your FIRS-registered heavy vehicle or trailer may also change. See National charging reforms for background information.

Charges for heavy vehicles registered under the Federal Interstate Registration Scheme (FIRS) are calculated using the vehicle's type, Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM), the number of axles and the vehicle's nominated configuration. The nominated configuration for a truck or prime mover refers to the combination of the hauling unit and trailers. You must nominate the highest configuration at which you intend to operate the vehicle.

For more information, contact RTA Heavy Vehicle Customer Service by phone on 1300 364 847, or by email.

IMPORTANT: It is an offence to operate at a higher configuration than nominated. You can operate at a lower configuration.
