~Have new colour, design~
PHILIPSBURG--The 2012 number plates have arrived in the country and will most likely be ready for pickup by mid-next week.
Some 27,452 pairs of plates for motor vehicles as well as 800 singles for bikes were ordered. The new plates are yellow in colour and have a picture of Fort Amsterdam in the background.
The cost of the plates remains the same as last year: NAf. 12.50 for regular vehicles and NAf. 7.50 for bikes and mopeds. The motor vehicle tax also remains the same: NAf. 275 for regular gasoline vehicles, NAf. 300 for rentals, NAf. 200 for motorbikes, NAf. 50 for mopeds and NAf. 1,250 for other categories of vehicles weighing more than 7,700 pounds.
Firgos supplied the plates this year, Acting Receiver Minerva Gumbs said on Thursday. Firgos also supplied the plates in 2010 and 2011.
On Thursday workers were busy unpacking and sorting the number plates. The Receiver's Office has not yet set any extended opening hours. If and when this is done, it will be announced via the media.
By law, the deadline for paying motor vehicle taxes is February 28; however, the Receiver's Office can set the deadline at a later date.
The Receiver's Office collected NAf. 8.5 million in motor vehicle tax payment in 2011 and sold 27,196 number plates. In 2010 over NAf. 8 million in motor vehicle tax was collected and 25,966 pairs of number plates sold, while the amount collected in 2008 was NAf. 8 million as against NAf. 7.5 million in 2007.
