Number plates here, pickup dates to be announced soon

PHILIPSBURG--The 2011 number plates have arrived. The Island Receiver's Office was busy unpacking and sorting the plates on Friday and over the weekend.

The plates arrived late last week and the pickup dates and late opening hours of the Island Receiver's Office will be announced. Acting Receiver Minerva Gumbs is hoping that the plates will be ready by Wednesday.

The plates bear the colours of the St. Maarten flag ? red, white and blue ? and have an image of the flag as well as of the Coat of Arms.

A total of 26,454 pairs of plates have been ordered for 2011. Firgos, which won the bid in 2010, was granted the bid again this year.

The deadline by law to pay the tax is February 28, but the Receiver's Office can set the date for controls later.

Government collected more than NAf. 8 million in motor vehicle tax in 2010 and sold 25,966 pairs of number plates, said Gumbs. Government collected NAf. 8 million in motor vehicle tax in 2008 and NAf. 7.5 million in 2007.
