This is a summary of the proposal, and does not include all detail.

A small number of approved eRUC providers act as intermediaries between customers and Waka Kotahi.
Annually we have 1.6 million RUC applications processed by eRUC organisations.
eRUC providers enable customers to meet their RUC obligations. They benefit through charging organisations and individuals a fee for the RUC services they provide.
We incur costs when processing applications for new providers, modifications and requests for approval using new technology and innovation, and for monitoring providers.
There has been a significant increase in our costs to provide services for eRUC since fees were set. We have broadened the services we provide to this group, including investing more in monitoring eRUC activity, face-to-face meetings, and processing provider applications. These additional services cost money.
We’re introducing a set charge for eRUC providers to recognise the business benefit they enjoy as a result of Waka Kotahi RUC systems, systems that cost us money to maintain.
Each of these changes reflects our need to recover the costs of providing regulatory services.
Changes would be introduced through new regulations, or amendments to the Road User Charges (Administration Fees) Regulations 2014 (or other regulations made under the Road User Charges Act 2012), with effect on or before October 2023.
There are 3 fees and 1 charge in this section. They are summarised in the table below.
