Moving to. Queensland.

[ian]

I've got my house on the market and I've purchased a new one in Queensland.
Here is my dilemma. My rego is due 21/September The green slip is $503.70
But in Queensland it's only $329.60. I don't pay the rego fee as I'm a pensioner
The house in qld is due for settlement in early October So I would loose most of my green slip costs
Unless I can transfer it to Qld ?
Or should I ring my green slip provider and see if I can some how just pay 3 months. ?

If you come to Queensland to live you have 14 days from registering a garaging address to change rego over to QLD and 3 months for your licence.

A 4 cyl car costs $670.00 to register including compulsory CTP insurance
With pensioner discount it is $519.10 PRE JULY when it went up I think about 3.5%

You only get 50% discount on the REGO of ONE vehicle per pensioner couple in QLD. The two figures above are what we paid on our 2 Vw's last year
So if you have 2 cars and a van is only on one car and full cost on the other two. Guaranteed

Cost breakdown CTP $329.60 Rego $289.85 Traffic improvement fee $50.55 Total $670.00

Other one Pensioner discount CTP $323.60 Rego $289.85 Less discount $144.90 Traffic fee 50.55 Total $519.10

That is from my two invoices from Jan and June this year

Gee. I get free rego. Just pay for the green slip
Yes but your green slips according to the RTA is only $329.60. gio/ Suncorp
So there isn't much difference as I pay $503. Green slip. No rego.

Read the words you WONT get free rego in the Sunshine state and if you dont change rego over to QLD after 14 days your car is unregistered and uninsured if they pick you up on the numberplate identifier. Fines arent worth trying a swifty

Up to 14kph over the limit is $153 and 1 point here.

Unreg is more than the cost of doing it

I'll explain it a bit better Once you buy a house and its where you live and have utilities and insurance etc and dont retain a house in another state the above applies. Some think its funny to use a friends address in Vic or somewhere for vehicle reg. Will be fine till you get rearended by a normal QLD tailgater and you have to give your address and then its not so funny.

I was up there just. 2 weeks ago and got done for 11km over
It's now $162 and one point. Lucky I have 13 points on my licence

Surely you get a refund if you transfer registered from one state to another... Ring the RTA?

If as a pensioner you dont pay rego how can you get a refund
