Partial refund of fees
395 Partial refund of fees
This section applies if—
the holder of a Queensland driver licence has a mental or physical incapacity that is likely to adversely affect the holder’s ability to drive safely and, before the licence expires—
the chief executive cancels the licence under section 356; or
the holder surrenders the licence under section 375; or
the holder of a Queensland driver licence dies before the licence expires.
The holder of the Queensland driver licence or, if subsection (1)(b) applies, the deceased’s legal personal representative, may apply to the chief executive for a partial refund of the fee paid for the grant or renewal of the licence.
Note—
See chapter 14, part 1 for requirements about the application.
If the chief executive is satisfied the information given by the applicant for the application is correct, the chief executive must give the partial refund to the applicant.
The partial refund is to be worked out using the formula—
where—
LF means the fee paid for the grant or renewal of the Queensland driver licence.
LP means the total term of the Queensland driver licence in months.
WM means the remaining term of the Queensland driver licence in whole months.
The chief executive may deduct from the partial refund an amount decided by the chief executive to cover reasonable administrative costs.
Subsection (3) does not apply if the reasonable administrative costs are greater than the amount of the partial refund.
Also, subsection (3) does not apply if the application is cancelled under section 383(4).
