number plate costs in nsw

[vinnY]

now its been a while since i changed my plates, i've forgotten how the associated costs work

ordering is $30 for most plates
yellow plates are $35
white bordered is $70
annual cost for black on white customised is $90/pa
annual cost for other colours with customised range from about $130/pa to something ridiculous like $430/pa
rta linky here for more info (http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/numberplates/pricelist.html)

now when you rock up to the rta to get the new plates and a new sticker i believe its another $25?

now with the annual fee is where i'm a bit confused
say my rego starts on jan 1st and i've got regular customsed black on white plates, in this case i've already paid it plus the $90/annual for the plates

so i order the new plates for $30(silver on black, $130/annual), rock up to the rta to surrender my old plates and buy the new rego sticker for $25
when do i pay the annual cost of the new plates?
when jan 1st comes again or when i get the plates swapped over?
or do i pay the difference($40) between the old and new plate?

i think all u hav to pay it the 40$ difference
frm what i remember i had colour plates then swap them for white ones it they didnt charge mee


but im not 100%

You pay the difference when you get your new plates, I've done this not so long ago myself for two different cars.

thanks guys..
so what if i change plates BEFORE my rego is due?
pay the $30 ordering plus $25 for a new sticker and $130 when the rego comes?

ahuh!!


sounds right to meeee

say for example u get ur plates six months before ur rego runs out...
and ur plates are worth 130.
when u go to get ur plate all u pay is 75 dollars for the plate because u are paying 6months worth of rego on the plate if u get what i mean.

plus the 30 dollar ordering fee
