I've been thinking about getting personalised number plates, I checked on the RTA website and found out they're $415 Every Year!!!
Is everyone with personalised number plates paying this much??? Or is there a way around it???
Thanks
Last time I checked, I think that's what I paid.
Here's mine 

(Please excuse my non VW daily driver)
in qld we only buy the plates once, nsw its every year ive heard
Hi
You can more simple ones for $90 per year, its another giant rip off from a bunch of mongrels at the RTA.

Makes me wish I got one ages ago. I think most of the ongoing fees only apply to newly purchased plates and vanity plates.
I think I heard / read recently that their policy had changed and those costs no longer apply, phone your local RTA and talk to a real person, maybe the web site isn't up to date.
Mine cost me $400 odd each year for a piece of flimsy metal that the paints coming off of.
I think I must be nuts

what you have to pay every year? standard number plate are a one off $40 in vic $80 for slim and/or colored.
$100 per letter or No.
for custom. But still only once off.

haha thats bs!
Its only custom issue plates that attract an annual fee, theres no annual fee on off the shelf yellow/black and slimline ones.
Don, they'll never drop the fees, its too much of a money spinner for them,
I got a letter from the RTA a few weeks back saying theyre now running a seperate department that looks after the plates but no changes in fees
Its only the full on custom ones like roses and pollywaffles that have stupidily high fees
Yeah, I paid a $80 one off fee for my slim line black and whites with gobbledegook on them. I didn't care what they said, I was just concerned that I
might get a dud one that said RA41ST or something similar.
How many other crap plates can you think of? They can't screen them all
