The 180 fee is a godaddy fee not a government fee. Other companies may charge a premium but many do not.

As far as I can tell from Googling, the €150 fee is something Verisign charges GoDaddy for domain redemption -- €150 is the rate for .com names, other TLD's have different rates.

So no, it doesn't appear to be a GoDaddy fee at all. It appears they could charge a premium on top of that, but they don't appear to be doing so in this case (assuming it's a .com).

(But correct that's it's not a government fee either.)
