  2. Registration Fee (Includes Fire Levy)
     - $61.15 + $15.00 = $76.15 normal rate
     - $31.90 + $10.00 = $41.90 pensioner rate;
  3. Road Safety Levy 
     -  $20.00 normal rate
     -  $12.00 pensioner rate
  4. Motor Tax
    Determine the number of seats (including the driver) then the Motor Tax. See Scales & Rates Of Motor Tax for Buses.

    Include the Vehicle Inspection Fee if the vehicle has been inspected by other than an Authorised Inspection Station. See Vehicle Inspection Fees.
  7. Registration Plate Fee
    Include the Registration Plate Fee for new registrations or if the vehicle is to be re-registered. Standard plates are $17.95. If retaining existing number plates (Tasmanian only) then no plate fee will be charged.
