Thread: Number Plates

So in your State do personalised plates have an annual fee?
Here in QLD its a one off purchase price.

Shhhh. Don't tell Anna Bligh.

They hit us up variuos amounts but these ones are $90 a year.
Anna sees all...

Hi LR25TD,

Once the vehicle is transferred into your fathers name the annual fee is no longer charged.

It is only charged to the owner who ordered the personalised plates.

I did not want them to go because they suit the car.

Unfortunately in NSW this is not correct
Here is a "quote" from the "My Plates" web site:-
"I bought a car from a motor dealer and it already had plates that incur annual fees. Is the motor dealer responsible for paying the annual fees?
No. The holder of the number plates/registered operator of the vehicle is responsible for paying the annual fee at the time of registration renewal.
If you don't want to keep the annual fee plates, you can return them to an RTA Motor Registry in exchange for a standard content plate with no annual fees, and pay the applicable order fee for the new plates."


Note that it states that the holder of the number plates or registered owner is responsible for paying any fees!!!!

Hi Wayne,

This must have changed then.....

I purchased a BA Mk 2 GT from a fellow who ordered and fitted - NSW plates - "BO 55 IE" (Blue with White letters). The plates were a take on the Boss 290 engine.

At the time the car was 10 weeks old. When I got the renewal notice 9 months later, the annual fee for the plates was not included in the total cost of registration.

I had it 2 years and did not pay the once..!

But, I would not be surprised if they have closed this loop hole
