Vehicle fees

Learn about registration fees in Victoria.

What fees do I pay?

When you register a vehicle you pay:

  • Registration fees (this includes the TAC charge)
  • Motor vehicle duty 
  • Number plate fee.

Registration fees

This fee depends on the type of vehicle being registered. For example, if you have a sedan, station wagon, 4WD or a ute.

Transport Accident Commission charge (TAC)

This fee depends on the area or 'risk zone' your vehicle is usually kept. The payment goes to treatment and support services for people involved in a transport accident. You may see this broken up into a TAC Charge and a Duty charge on your registration renewal letter.

See What does my rego pay for? on the Transport Victoria website to learn more.
