June 2024 at a Glance
Compared with May 2024, New Zealand RUC sales were 24.0% lower. The difference in recorded sales value was $52,592,011.22. This compares two individual calendar months; it does not adjust for the number of days or when licences were bought.
Against June 2023, RUC Sales were 10.3% lower. Kilometres Sold were 49.5% lower, while Licences Sold were 30.7% lower. These measures describe different parts of the same sales activity, so their percentage changes can differ.
In June 2024, the selection covered 1,276,142,356 Kilometres Sold across 288,010 Licences Sold. That is an average of about 4,431 kilometres per licence sold. This is a sales measure: distance can be used after the month of purchase, and a vehicle can account for several licences.
Among the 12 recorded months shown in the chart (January 2024 to December 2024), May 2024 had the highest RUC Sales at $219,035,641.46; June 2024 had the lowest at $166,443,630.24. This identifies the range of the published observations, rather than a seasonally adjusted trend.

Reading This Report
These are NZTA's published RUC sales figures. Kilometres Sold measure distance purchased, rather than distance driven during the period. Licences Sold do not count unique vehicles. Regional figures describe the registered owner's address.
Refunds, reversals, changes in RUC rates and the timing of advance purchases can affect comparisons. The report is a snapshot of the source revision shown above; the live explorer may contain later revisions.
