Eligible NSW residents can receive a rebate every quarter for trips on the M5 South-West Motorway. 

You need to have a registered Tag or Tagless account to claim the M5 South-West Cashback. If you are signing up for a new account online you will be automatically registered for cashback. If you have an existing account you will need to register.

We’ll email you when your Quarterly Cashback Statement is ready. You can then lodge your cashback claim online via your Linkt account (applications are not available via the Linkt app).

Large Towed Recreational Vehicle Toll Rebate

The Large Towed Recreational Vehicle Toll Rebate (LTRVTR) is a rebate for vehicles towing a boat trailer, large caravan or horse float. 

The LTRVTR brings the cost of tolls back to your original vehicle class when this happens. This means you will be charged for your original vehicle class, saving you any additional cost for towing on toll roads. 

The rebate is available for all Sydney toll roads, except for the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Harbour Tunnel.
