Sole traders
If you’re a sole trader with a personal and/or business toll account, you may also be eligible for the sole trader toll relief rebate.
Eligibility
To claim, you need to:
- be a NSW resident
- spend $402 or more on eligible tolls in the 2023-24 financial year ($375 or more in the 2022-23 financial year)
- have an active NSW personal toll account (E-Toll or Transurban Linkt) – if you've moved from interstate, check with your toll provider that you now have a NSW personal account suitable for toll relief
- have already paid for the tolls
- have an active NSW toll provider account (not suspended or closed)
- have accrued the tolls on a vehicle that's privately registered in NSW, and is below 2794kgs TARE weight

- claim within one year of the financial year end in which you paid the tolls
- have not already received:
- a rebate in the quarter for which you're claiming
- the maximum rebate in the financial year for which you're claiming.
Note: You must accumulate the eligible toll spend on one personal toll account at a time. If you have multiple tag or tagless products on the one account, the toll spend for all eligible vehicles on that account will count towards the rebate.
