Government Transfer Fee (also known as the Assignment Fee)
Whenever you purchase or retain a registration mark, the Government charges an £80 fee, which must always be paid straight away (by law), regardless of when your transfer to a vehicle is completed. Paying It is NOT optional and cannot be delayed.
This fee has nothing to do with the 'First registration fee' for a brand new or imported vehicle, which if required, is paid separately.
This fee covers the cost of producing a new V5 Registration Document, updating Government databases and notifying all government departments such as VOSA and the Police.
The Government Transfer Fee is zero-rated for VAT purposes, so no VAT is added to it.

Remember, each registration is unique and thousands change hands daily. Availability cannot be guaranteed until after your payment is made.
