License plates with desirable numbers will be subject to tax

The Nationwide vehicle registration has been updated for 2013. According to the data, as of August 2013, a total 597,658 vehicles were registered nationwide in the vehicle registration renewal.

The Road and Transportation Minister stated that a tax rule for owners with license plates with desirable numbers is being discussed by the decision makers in the Ministry.

The Ministry of Road and Transportation has issued no new unique license plate numbers since it was reformed. The Ministry of Road could impose the new tax rule for license plates with desirable numbers due an issue with releasing new accession numbers for vehicles. These lucky numbers include examples such as “УН 5555”, “УМА 6161” and “УБН 9999”.

In addition the Ministry of Road and Transportation is now connected with license plate producers so it is able to control the license plate numbers of vehicles.
