Transport Malta has updated and relaunched a scheme to regularise outstanding arrears of motor vehicle licence fees.
It said that defaulters having an unlicensed vehicle registered on their name would not be able to register or transfer another vehicle to their name.
TM said it was illegal to drive a vehicle without a valid annual circulation licence. If the licence remained unpaid, a monthly administrative fine of €10 would be levied on the vehicle owner starting from 90 days after the licence expiry. Vehicles on the road whose licence expired more than 90 days earlier would be towed.
The scheme is for all vehicles that have been scrapped, destroyed, stolen, or garaged without notifying Transport Malta. It also covers those unable to renew their vehicle’s licence.
It makes provision for
- Vehicles which have been scrapped by a deceased owner whose heir/s denunciated to the will;
- Individuals who scrapped a vehicle and who resided in a home for the elderly, hospital asylum or similar institutions.
Transport Malta was also launching a scheme aimed at regularising garaged and scrapped vehicles.
