Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Donating Members 3,726 Member For: 19y 2m 22d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 02/12/06 09:05 AM Share Posted 02/12/06 09:05 AM Why now in NSW do we pay an annual fee for customised number plates. Since July 2005 (or 2004) the RTA decided to charge all of us an anuual fee for customised plates regardless of the arrangement of letters and numbers.We can all get standard numberplates that the RTA just randomly issue for a one off fee but if we want customised plates we pay a much bigger fee first up, and so be it, but now and each year thereafter we pay the same/similar annual fee.All I ask is why?? Whats changed in the registration system of our vehicles that requires customised licence plate holders to pay some whopping fee each year and how is it justified? Granted we should pay the fee to have them initially produced but what costs are incurred by the NSW RTA that requires them to charge hundreads of dollars each year you keep the plates. My plates were damaged years ago by a truck that ran me up the rear end and there starting to show there age. Now as ive had these made up prior to this new system than I dont have to pay the annual fee each year, however as I now want them re-made and issued I will be reuired to pay the one off $170 fee plus $90 every year I keep them.Is the RTA just capitilising on the populatity of pensonlised plates or what?What you other states think of this fraud?????????

Turbo6man Lifetime Members 4,084 Member For: 22y 8m Gender: Male Location: South Coast NSW Posted 04/12/06 01:42 AM Share Posted 04/12/06 01:42 AM It was introduced at the same time as the cost of ordering personalised plates was dropped. It's purely a deceptive measure by the money hungry NSW government to rip off people even further. The perception is that the plates are now cheaper (to order) and therefore more people are enticed to order them. A lot of the younger/new purchasers don't know that there wasn't previously an annual fee on this style of plate. So they are sucked in quite simply and then have to fork out the $100 or whatever each and every year thereafter in order to keep their plates. Just pure government greed and deception at work.

WA dirt roads are generally of far better quality than our tar roads.I don't mind paying a one off for the plate but they can stick their annual fee up Iemma's crooked @rse.Oh, and don't think it'll be better if Debnam wins either.

Yep, that'll be 3.5K.OK, we only pay that fee once, and the plates are ours for life, but they sure dont miss us. Just hope you dont turn your car over too often....

And the worst thing about it is when I went 2 get them back, they wouldnt give it just for the simple fact that if I was to get pulled over, the plates would appear to be stolen, and id have to explain to the police y I have stolen plates. Back to the topic did you know that now euro plates in NSW now have an annual fee of $130\yr. Dats for existing and new euro plate holders. nooowwww dats just plain wrong....

They come up as beoing stolen but they are linked to the car that they were orginally on, so it does not apply to me any more as I have diff car then waht they were stolen off.
