Chatham Islands: The Latest Month
Compared with September 2026, RUC sales recorded for owners in Chatham Islands were 178.2% higher. The difference in recorded sales value was $3,787.77. This compares two individual calendar months; it does not adjust for the number of days or when licences were bought.
Against October 2025, RUC Sales were 23.2% lower. Kilometres Sold were 25.0% lower, while Licences Sold were 36.4% higher. These measures describe different parts of the same sales activity, so their percentage changes can differ.
In October 2026, the selection covered 74,935 Kilometres Sold across 15 Licences Sold. That is an average of about 4,996 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 58 recorded months shown in the chart (January 2022 to October 2026), April 2022 had the highest RUC Sales at $36,149.03; August 2026 had the lowest at $1,086.18. 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.
