So simple....
Not so massive emissions at the top end £2k first year.

So the challenge ... will the big expensive stuff actually be bought at all in any volume so that stock will be available after the first 5 years as a sensible price for administering its registration details?

I use the term "sensible price" with some reluctance. There is nothing about any specific penalty tax that should be thought of as sensible.
