Fiscal and Economic Outlook 102 ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Motor Vehicle Registration Fees 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 Tax expenditure ($ million) 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 The estimated tax expenditure reported above is comprised of the following. PENSIONER VEHICLE CONCESSION The holder of a Pensioner Concession Card is able to receive a flat $104 concession from motor vehicle registration fees. Actual motor vehicle registration fee data for past years has been used to estimate this item of tax expenditure. Mineral Royalties 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 Tax expenditure ($ million) 10.3 9.6 9.7 9.9 The benchmark tax base is assumed to be all profitable mining operations in the Northern Territory. The benchmark tax rate is assumed to be the rate of royalty that will apply in 2003-04, being 18 per cent. The estimated tax expenditure reported above is comprised of the following. ELIGIBLE EXPLORATION EXPENDITURE Royalty payers are able to reduce the amount of royalty that they pay in the Territory for eligible exploration expenditure (EEE) that they incur for their mining operations in the Territory. However, the amount by which royalty may be reduced in this manner is limited to a maximum of 25 per cent of the amount that would otherwise be payable. Prior to 1 July 2003, EEE could be used to reduce royalty by up to 35 per cent. The estimated cost of this concession is based on projected future mineral royalty collections, assuming that royalty payers will seek to maximise their royalty deduction by using EEE. Gambling Taxes 2003-04 2004-05 2005-06 2006-07 Tax expenditure ($ million) 12.3 12.4 7.1 7.3 The estimated tax expenditure reported above is comprised of the following. GAMING MACHINE CONCESSIONS FOR LICENSED CLUBS The benchmark tax base is assumed to be all gaming machines operated by licensed clubs and hotels in the Northern Territory. The benchmark tax rate is assumed to be the highest marginal tax rate that will apply in 2003-04 (including the 10 per cent Community Benefit Levy), being 52.91 per cent. A concessional graduated tax scale applies to gaming machines operated by licensed clubs. The marginal tax rates are applied to the monthly gaming machine metered win revenue, with the top tax rate applying to the portion of such revenue that exceeds $150 000 for any licensed club. The cost of this concession is based on projected gaming machine revenue from licensed community gaming machine operators (ie. clubs and hotels).
