Response

A
On average, taking into account the mix of paycard sales (1, 2 and 4 units) the average net return to the Trading Operation after GST, costs of production, distribution and sale is around 87% of gross income.
B
It is anticipated that around 86-87% of the total unit cost will be returned to the Trading Operation, taking into account GST, credit/debit card fees, the PayByPhone charge and the mix of usage (duration of parking selected).
C
The cost difference between PayCards and PayByPhone at present is marginal.  However, should this change in the future then the Minister for DFI has said publically that any cost differential will hopefully be passed on.
D
Approximately 90-95% of the revenue from monthly season tickets is credited to the Trading Operation after taking account of GST and commission charges, if applicable.
