Licence fees

[Wayne]

I would be interested to know what members in various parts of the country pay for their annual vehicle licence renewal.
I have a 2002 Hilux D/C 2700i 4x4 and I have just recieved notification of my renewal at R615.00.

Wat? Het jy 'n shipping container op die bak gehad toe hulle hom geweeg het?

[CasKru]

Goeie ongeluk

As ek reg onthou was myne laas jaar R283 (SFA D/C)

[Mud Dog]

2009 = R375 (Includes R36 transaction fee) for 1990 model 2.2 SFA DC

[Scooter]

Mine was also on the R380 mark October 2009

That's robbery! Must be something wrong with their calculations! I think they take the engine capacity into account as well but that only makes up a small difference the cost.

Mine is R583 for Sheila.
We are getting screwed in Cape Town :evil: :evil: :evil:
A lot of the busses and trucks have EC number plates because it is cheaper to register it by uncle andy's place

[ThysdJ]

Yes true George, mine as also in excess of R600 late last year. let's have a national GTG at Andy's house, and then we all go to the traffic department in EL and re-register our Hiluxes there on Andy's address....

I once heard some thing about less tollgates in the Cape there for they nead to get the money some where to the " fix the roads"

[Wayne]

Cape Town are fleecing us by the looks of things. How are these fees regulated. Or is it by means of one big thumb suck

[ThysdJ]

License fees in the W/C are determined by the Dept of Transport: Provncial Govt of the Western Cape. And every province determines their own license fees. They also want to add an additional fuel levy for the Western Cape "to pay for fixing the roads". As a matter of fact it is approved by Central Govt already, just not implemented yet. But yes, we are blessed with almost no toll roads in and around CT, but our roads are also pretty stoofed, although not as bad as some I saw from up country....

Ek het myne eergister betaal 1991 Dc 2.2

Julle moet nie net die prys post wat julle betaal het nie maar ook die tare want soos julle weet is dit 'relational'

[kfxnando]

something in the system is not right!! nothing new!!

self pay around R300, need to double check the exact amount!!

Mine is also 1420kg on the registration form, but I think it's the GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) that determines the category. At 2480kg the Hilux is classed as a light load vehicle (3500kg or less).

Tare refers to the load carrying capacity of the vehicle.

It would seem that each municipal area has their own set of rates.

October 2009

R336,00

Tare 1750
GVM 2580

ok went and found the exact numbers!!

R363

tare 1744kg

no other details!!

so not too bad!!

the only other things is this

Vehicle category light load vehicle (GVM 3500kg or less)

witch brings me to another question and might even explain why some vehicles are higher then others!!

on the plate/tag inside the bonnet, thing the GVM 4178, cant remember the exact number, just remember that its just short of 4200kg

could it be that some vehicles have a similar GVM and hence why they pay more???
