Thread: How much is V8 rego in Canberra?

I wonder if it would be wise to tell him to cancel the rego? You would have to accept the vehicle unregistered and then go through the registration process in Queensland.

At a guess you are only talking $250-$300 that would be left on the ACT rego. Many people think that just dividing the yearly rego rate by what is left over if cancelled is what you would get. It' s not this easy as 3rd party insurance etc eats up some costs.

Have a look at http://www.rego.act.gov.au/registrat...rying_vehicles

In Queensland the rego costs are based on the number of cylinders. Looks like in the ACT they work out the cost by the vehicle weight.

Hope this helps,

Return for 6 months is bugger all. ACT does it by vehicle weight and I think cylinders. I could be wrong. Been a few years since I had ACT rego.

Rego in the ACT comprises rego, third party (NRMA), road rescue and road safety contribution. - it is all one process as green slips are not used.

The rego component is $346 for my Freelander and was not much more for my V8 Disco - now about $370 (was only $320 for 2005 for the Disco).

If you cancel the rego - how are you going to get the car to Qld - my suggestion is take the car as is and get it changed to Qld rego within the required few weeks and claim back from the ACT any outstanding rego and third party (the one process) - note there is a decent admin fee. Note - the third party component is $399 - the other componnets come to $18.

If you ring 13 22 81, the ACT rego people, they should be able to give you the answers.
