Confused about my first car rego
Hi All, Can anyone explain the process for car re-registration please:-
I've just been sent my end of first year here's rego renewal document
that says I have to pay $49 registration fee and $305 Motor Vehicle Tax
a total of $354 is this fee inclusive of CTP or is this something else I have to
buy?
Also I thought it was supposed to be cheaper to have a car here, so far it
seems just as if not more expensive.
I've just opened another letter from Allianz and its the CTP renewal for another $260! So thats up to $614 and that doesn't include my insurance yet!

that sounds cheap, so may not include CTP, but tell us what state you are in, and we may be able to help!

No Worries, Arkon! 
Should be doing something more useful than hanging around in forums anyway!
Just can't find the motivation today (fed up with the sunshine)!
