(No. B/294) Mr A. Ramdass (Third Member for Vieux Grand Port & Rose Belle) asked the Minister of Land Transport whether in regard to registration duties payable on the acquisition of pre-owned vehicles already subject to a first registration in Mauritius, he will state if consideration will be given for the waiving thereof.
Reply (The Prime Minister): Currently, registration duty is payable by the purchaser of a motor vehicle, be it upon registration of the vehicle for the first time in Mauritius or on any subsequent registration. The amount of registration duty applicable on a vehicle being registered for the first time in Mauritius depends on the vehicle type and its engine capacity, while registration duty for a pre-owned vehicle depends on the age of the vehicle at time of transfer in addition to the vehicle type and engine capacity. The amount of registration duty applicable on transfer of a conventional pre-owned motorcar can vary between Rs3,300 and Rs156,000. The proposal to make registration duty applicable only on the first time when a vehicle is being registered in Mauritius was mentioned in the electoral manifesto of the Alliance du Changement. The measure will be considered in the context of the forthcoming budget exercise.
