Car tax reminder

CAR OWNERS are being warned to renew their road tax by August 1, as the Road Transport Department will not be sending out reminders to registered drivers.

“Each registered car owner will need to ensure their vehicle’s road taxi is renewed before the final date for renewing road tax,” the Department announced.

It added that drivers have until August 1 to renew it, while police will be patrolling the roads for those who fail to do so from the very next day.

“From (August 2), the police and Road Transport Department will report those caught driving without having renewed their road tax.”

Motorists can renew their road tax over the internet throughout the year on http://rtd.mcw.gov.cy and all banks as well as Co-ops, Citizen Service Centres and the department’s offices.

Car owners are reminded that without an MOT certificate, road tax can’t be issued.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
