TheQ Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Mine won't be paid until the end of March, they won't be getting a free loan from me.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Received ours in the post a week ago. Paying this will be very galling as our boat is on brokerage and under the present circumstances likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future thus not being used at all.

MauriceMynah Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I thought that boats on brokerage were exempt. Am I wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It all depends on what is meant by "on brokerage". If the boat is being offered for sale by a broker, but is still in use, a toll is required. If it's in the broker's premises, no longer in use, no toll is required. Test runs by a potential purchaser would be covered by the broker's trade plate. The explanation can be found in the 2009 BA Act. Section 16 Broads Authority Act 2009 Exemption of certain vessels (1)In this section...“the specified provisions” means— (a)any byelaws made or deemed to be made under section 11; (b)section 12 (construction and equipment standards); (c)section 14 (vessels: insurance requirements)… (6)Nothing contained in or in force or done under the specified provisions shall apply to any vessel which— (a)is not for the time being in use for the purposes of navigation, or for residential or commercial purposes; (b)is moored on waters occupied or customarily used by a person carrying on a business; and (c)is so moored for the purposes of being serviced, repaired or stored by that person or of being sold or offered or exposed for sale by that person (whether acting as principal or agent). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is alwys paid just before she goes back in the water for the same reason ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 If we don't have to pay a toll while it is on brokerage that is good news indeed, I thought that it was only exempt if it was on hard standing. Thanks for the info Paladin. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you were spotted last year, on your mobile, phoning the tolls office just as your boat's keel touched the water! Now that is cutting it fine! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
