Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval and Approval Marks) (Fees) Regulations 1999 (“the 1999 Regulations”) which prescribe the fees payable for the examination of vehicles and vehicle parts, the examination of complete vehicles and the issue of documents in connection with the type approval (both European and National) of vehicles and vehicle parts.
Regulations 3, 4 and the Schedule provide for changes in the amount of fees. The last increase took effect on 1st October 2004.
The increases in fees for examinations of a complete vehicle to which the Great Britain Regulations or the European Regulations apply with a view to the issue of the appropriate documents (Schedule 1) range from 3.03% to 4.08%.
The increases in fees for examinations, with a view to the issue of the appropriate documents, of a complete vehicle to which the Great Britain Regulations for Goods Vehicles apply (Schedule 2) range from 3.46% to 3.53%.
The increases in fees for the issue of documents in respect of vehicle parts (Schedule 3) range from 2.77% to 4.25%.
