[Orion] Tyrewise Tyre Stewardship Fee : Orion by Auxo

Note - The following article is based on our current understanding and initial concept of the best-practise for this new initiative. We will update this article as our understanding evolves and if we identify better ways of managing the process.

To administer the Tyrewise Tyre Stewardship Fee, we recommend setting up a new Part for the Tyre Stewardship Fee with a Notes entry to add the required transparent declaration of the fee.

Adding the Fee to a Parts Invoice

When processing a parts invoice that includes new tyres:

The Tyre Stewardship Fee text will display in Additional Notes

Sales module

While certain detail of the requirements in terms of New Vehicle Sales are still unclear to us, it is our understanding that if the vehicle is NOT being road registered, eg a ride-on lawnmower, you need to apply the fee as you will be charged the stewardship fee and will need to on-charge the fee.

If it is being road registered, you do not on-charge it as the fee will be charged at the registration stage by NZTA as part of the on-road costs.

For more information on the NZTA vehicle registration fees, including the Tyre Stewardship Fee, see: https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/licensing-rego/vehicle-fees/registration-fees/#tyre
