The Tax Department (DGII) will return RD$40 million to vehicle owners who renewed their license plates before President Leonel Fernandez suspended this year's fee increase. Listin Diario explains that vehicle owners who have already paid for the renewal will receive checks that can be cashed ten days after Congress passes the bill. President Fernandez instructed the DGII to revert to last year's fees.
Senate president Reinaldo Pared Perez said that the bill to maintain license plate renewals at last year's rates would be ready today, at 3pm.
Costs for renewing plates are now RD$1,200 for cars five years or older, and RD$2,200 for cars five years or newer. The renovation process is on hold pending the modification of the bill.
Last week President Fernandez reversed the increased taxation on vehicles, on the grounds that the successful implementation of several new taxes as of January 2007 has made it unnecessary.
