(1) Following the application of the relevant tables under the heading "M1
Motor Vehicles", the total amount of the registration tax shall be equal to the sum total of the CO2 value (g/km – grams per kilometer) multiplied by the registration value (RV) multiplied by the indicated % value, and the total
of the length (mm)
multiplied by the registration value (RV) multiplied by the indicated % value:
(CO2 x RV x x% ) + (length (mm) x RV x x%).
(2) Where the CO2 value has not been provided to the Authority by the motor vehicle owner, the Authority shall apply the rate of 251g/km.
(3) Where the particulate matter value has not been provided to the Authority by the motor vehicle owner, the Authority
shall apply the rate of 0.035 g/km.
(4) Where, on the application of paragraph 1 above, the amount of tax on the registration of a used M1 motor vehicle imported from
a third country in terms of article 6(2) is less than the minimum applicable to that motor vehicle, the amount of tax due on the
registration of that vehicle shall be the minimum applicable to that vehicle as established in the table bearing the heading "Minimum
Tax applicable to used M1 motor vehicles imported from a third country in terms of article 6(2)".
(5) For hybrid vehicles the CO2 value shall be the combined level of amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from a combination of the electric motor and internal combustion engine contained in the relevant EC type-approval
certificate or EC certificate of conformity or any other appropriate documentation acceptable to the Authority which confirms compliance
with the type approval for
A 294
the type of vehicle concerned. Otherwise, it shall be the combined level of carbon dioxide (CO2) contained in the relevant EC type-approval certificate or EC certificate of conformity or any other appropriate documentation acceptable
to the
Authority which confirms compliance with the type approval for the type of vehicle concerned.
The rate of registration tax payable on hybrid vehicles shall be based on the tables for M1 motor vehicles but the CO2 value as provided in the Certificate of Conformity shall be reduced by 20%.
(1) Where an M1 motor vehicle or a motor cycle which, upon registration, had been exempted from the payment of registration tax
under article 19 of this Act, is sold to a person who does not qualify for a full registration tax exemption there shall be paid
thereon the tax applicable to the market value of the vehicle.
(2) Where an M1 motor vehicle or a motor cycle which, upon registration, had been partly exempted from the payment of registration
tax under article 19 of this Act, is sold to a person who does not qualify for a registration tax exemption there shall be paid thereon
the tax applicable to the market value of the vehicle less the registration tax paid upon the registration of that vehicle.
(3) Where an M1 motor vehicle which has been registered as a self-drive motor vehicle with a registration mark having two letters
followed by the letter K is converted within thirty-six months from its registration into a private motor vehicle, there shall be
paid thereon the tax applicable to the market value of the vehicle less the registration tax paid upon the registration of that vehicle.
(4) Where an M1 motor vehicle which has been registered as a chauffeur driven motor vehicle with a registration mark having one
letter followed by the letters GY is converted within sixty months from its registration into a private motor vehicle, there shall
be paid thereon the tax applicable to the market value of the vehicle less the registration tax paid upon the registration of that
vehicle.".
