2020.<\/p>\n<p>The draft regulation outlines the fees for cars, motorcycles, trucks, trailers and caravans.<\/p>\n<p>The average increase proposed is approximately 4.5%, which is\u00a0in line with inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Licence fees are, among other activities, predominantly used for maintenance and building of the road infrastructure, the Western Cape government said.<\/p>\n<p>These vehicle licence fees are typically used by the provincial government to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build, upgrade and maintain the provincially-owned road network.<\/li>\n<li>Assist municipalities to fund the maintenance of their more strategic roads.<\/li>\n<li>Continue to reduce the maintenance backlog, which has been decreased by over 16% over the last 7 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can find the list of
