Action Required
The Tax Department urges all vehicle owners to address their outstanding payments promptly. For overdue motor vehicle tax, a payment plan must be arranged within three months. Non-payment incurs a 50% fine and potential police traffic checks, which can be avoided by paying on time.
Important Notice for 2025
As 2025 approaches, any outstanding 2024 tax debt must be cleared before settling the 2025 motor vehicle tax. Failure to comply will delay the issuance of new license plates.
