(b) if all or part of the amount under the penalty notice or penalty reminder notice has been paid--

(i) any action taken to record demerit points against a person in the NSW demerit points register kept under the Road Transport Act 2013 because of that payment is to be reversed, and any driver licence affected as a consequence of the recording of the demerit points is to be restored (subject to any other matters affecting the licence), by Transport for NSW from the date of the withdrawal of the penalty notice, and

(ii) the amount that has been paid is repayable to the person by whom it was paid.
