I had to get one of my bikes registered the other day.

I noticed a 200 baht charge (English translation says, tax deposit fee). 

I haven't noticed this fee in the past, any hints out there, what is this tax for?
 

The bike is a Yamaha Aerox, registered in a Thai name. 

 

Did you use one of those agent yellow cog places? looks like their fee

Yes I did, it's strange how they word the receipt saying it's 'tax deposit fee' 

 

I usually get my insurance broker to send it to the DLT for processing, they charge 100 baht plus CTP insurance. 

 

The bike needed an annual inspection for the 1st time it's a 2019 model, so I used the yellow cog business.
