IVA Fee Increase ?
ken555 - 6/6/17 at 10:56 AM

Just read online on another forum that the IVA fee might be increasing:-

Just a word of warning to those that may not be aware.
A new IVA application form is now online. It has been amended and question 3D now asks if any used parts are fitted to the vehicle. Often kit cars use used parts and even those to be registered as new are allowed one recon part.
The use of any used parts now attracts a fee of £450 instead of the low volume fee of £199, an increase of 125% .
This creates an inconsistency with the registration process which allows one recon part i.e and engine.


Interestingly the guidance notes for IVA which were released as recently as April 2017 do not contain info re Q 3D, so you may get caught out.

That's what I paid in 2013!

For info, whether you've used brand new parts or recon/used, i don't think the IVA price is any different - £450.
As others have stated, has been that price for years...

it seems the other poster edited the post today to cause it.

The title I used was missed off the cut and paste from PH, hence the confusion. My title referred to IVA increase by 125% for class L.
Low volume fee is £199, anyone putting in an application under class A has always paid £450.
Now any car submitted under class L with used parts will be charged at £450 and any car submitted on behalf of a builder that is not in the business of building cars will be charged at £450 not £199 as was the case until a few weeks ago.

THIS INCREASE ONLY APPLIES TO those the business of building cars. Class A builds are not effected.
