VOSA increase fees and charged

Following full consultation, VOSA has introduced new fees which came into effect on 1st April 2007. The increase ensures the costs of providing services are covered by the income generated.

Affected services include tests and re-tests of Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and Public Service
Vehicles (PSVs), specialised inspections of HGVs and PSVs, operator licences for HGV and PSV Operators, bus registration and permits and examinations for Single Vehicle Approval (SVA).

Fees were last increased 18 months ago; the average increase is 5.5%. As usual, fees are rounded to the nearest pound. Details of the increases can be found at www.transportoffice.gov.uk.
