Remember, this is only the licence fee proportion of your total car rego costs. So, the total the licence fee for the example above, if it were renewed for 12 months, would be $325.88. As at July 2021, that fee is $6.60 for 12-month renewals (50% discount applied to 12 month option), $6.60 for 6-month renewals and $3.30 for 3-month renewals. This is added to the total of your licence fee. You then need to add what the Department of Transport call a ‘prescribed flat fee’. So, if your car weighed 1,300kg, your licence fee would be $319.28 (as at July 2021). WA is the only Australian state to use weight in the calculation of individual light vehicle licence fees.įor passenger cars, SUVs and light commercial vehicles, which are all referred to as ‘light vehicles’, you pay $24.56 per 100kg. The licence fee is a calculation based on the weight of your car, so the lighter the car, the cheaper it is to licence. There is also a licence fee, the second largest fee on your car rego, and a recording or administrative fee which is $10.30 per light vehicle (as at July2021).

This breakdown includes Motor Injury Insurance, plus 10% GST on that insurance and a 10% insurance duty, which together make up the largest proportion of the total. If you check your account form, under the section that shows the optional payment periods of three, six and 12 months, you’ll see a fee breakdown. Your car’s licence, sometimes called car registration, is made up of a number of fees and charges.
