to check taxes...
over 10 years - $100
7-10 years old - $900
5-7 years old - $2000
2-5 years old - $3000
under 2 years - $4000
local vehicles - year month and date of first registration. note: it's found on the
card copy on the right hand side of the name and address of the first owner.
roll on roll off - check from date of manufacture. located on the top right hand corner of the card copy. most would carry the year and month, eg. 03\11. the year is 2003 and the month of manufacture is november. this means from the first of december the tax would drop. in the case where there is no month listed, the taxes would be calculated using the first day in the next year.
knock down - these are calculated from date month and year of registration, just like the local vehicles. many people are confused by this. a knock down is known by the acronym L.A.F.U.P. written on the certified copy which stands for locally assembled, foreign used parts. these vehicles were built locally and registered for an average of 20-30k. because these vehicles were built locally, they are not considered foreign used vehicles even as every part on it is. so therefore the taxes paid are equal to a local car. so don't be too upset when someone with a higher series pays less than you.
motorbikes - simplest of all. $100, or if your bike is an over 250cc engine, $200 tax.
vat registered company vehicles - $10 transfer fee only, provided that the selling company gives a vat invoice with the following: engine and chassis number, the price of the vehicle, the amount of vat charged and the grand total, an invoice number and of course the vat registration number.
