Just got the renewal for the 4by , and the caravan as
well. The caravan weighs about 1140kgs, the 4x4 ute about the same. The cost of each was the same down to the cent!!. The difference being the caravan is on the road for about 30days a year, the 4by 365days. The RTA must pick up a lot of revenue on parked up trailers and caravans over time !. Not as though their likeley to change the system in a hurry , not in NSW anyhow...LOL
Cheers Axle.

Axle, you think that's expensive ?
Victorian registration on the 4 by is Registration Fee $ 178.00
TAC Charge $ 378.00
Insurance Duty $ 37.80
Total Due $ 593.80
Admittedly the camper registration here in Victoria is around $50 a year but the 4 by rego is ridiculous.
Looks like NSW isn't that expensive after all.........lol

You don't have to pay CTP insurance on a van as it is covered by the towing vehicle

Hi axle,
The Victorian rego is all up including CTP Insurance> Its in the TAC Charge.
Don't know about Paul W (Vic) with the $520 cruiser rego. Perhaps the Victorian rego has recently increased because
mine is due in December and I'm looking at the renewal notice right now.
Although here in Victoria if you hold a Health Care Card the renewal is discounted to $504.80 all up. I'm assuming a similar benefit would apply in NSW and other states.
The C/T renewal isn't due until the end of Feb 2009 and I haven't had to pay registration on the camper yet so it looks like that will be around $36 for the year.
Cheers.

Axle,
Don't pay the caravan rego without making enquiries about it first.
My guess, and that's all it is, is that some computer operator has stuffed up somewhere along the line and entered the wrong rates against your van.
The fact that it is identical to your 4by (a Defender if I recall correctly) is a pretty good indicator of a stuff up.
I'd be checking it out pretty thoroughly before I pay that sort of money for a caravan rego.
FWIW my 16ft van is only $55.90 for a full year (WA Rego) made up of
Licence Fee $39.80
InsuranceCTP $4.95
GST (Ins) $0.50
Stamp Duty
on Insurance $0.50
Recording Fee $10.15
I hope that you find out that there is an error and sort it out satisfactorily.
Disco.

It may have something to do with being rego'd as BUSUNESS... Private may be the better option but if you are claiming something against the van for tax reasons, then obviously there may be some advantages that offset the extra cost of paying the business premium.. Mchael

Disco, i think the prob is in the motor vehicle tax area, $302.00
This is where the defender and the van are stated the same!
Are vans classed as vehicles and taxed accordingly?
I thought vans where in the same catogery as trailers.
Will have a big frown on at the motor registery on monday..

Mike, your probably right!, I set it up as a site van as it was to be used for accommodation when i was working out of home territory. A few tax benefits but not enought to offset that sort of rego really.

change it back to private unless it is regoed in a company name. you can still claim tax on private regoed vehicles.

G'day Axle
If you don't want to pay rego on the caravan just drop it around the corner where you got bogged and I'll look after it for you on a permenant basis. LOL
We will be there at xmas.
We are in
Lightning Ridge at the moment for three weeks. Great place. I have found a few pieces of opal that are worth taking
home.
Our next location will be the Big
Rock. We will be there for ten days.
Then

In WA, i have paid (this includes the 3rd party damage premium)
Caravan $100.30
Camper $50.60
F250 $613.00
Landcruiser $595.85
Nissan $660.65 (always dearer than the Cruiser because it falls due 1 July when cost rises)
as well as sedan licences including $399.25 for a tiny Corolla.
Costs have risen every year.
If you really want to get hit hard - buy a vehicle in WA - the Stamp Duty is horrendous. At least they recently came into line with most other states in eliminating it on trailers (which includes caravans); prior to that it was the same as on vehicles.
