About the scheme
The TMA Telematics Positional Accuracy Assurance (TPAA) Scheme provides assurance over the quality and reliability of telematics data used for FTC, thereby:
- reducing compliance exposures with FTC calculations
- providing a pathway for ASPs to obtain FTC Product Rulings from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).
The scheme is associated with the Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) of the National Telematics Framework.
For more information on FTC Product Rulings, see the ATO website.
Eligibility
The scheme is not limited to heavy vehicles. Enrolment can involve any vehicle with an internal combustion engine.
To participate in the scheme, transport operators must ensure their vehicles are fitted with a telematics device approved by TCA for use at Level 2 Assurance or higher.
How to enrol
Step 1 – Choose a certified Application Service Provider (ASP) and assist the ASP with any information it needs to complete the enrolment process.
Step 2 – Your ASP will ensure the telematics device is installed in your vehicle and certified by TCA. The telematics device will generate position records and report them to TCA, no less frequently than monthly.
