New ‘RR’ motor vehicle series commence

Georgetown: The Motor Vehicle Registration Series ‘PP’ has come to an end, and the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) says the next available registration letters are ‘RR’ since the alphabet letters I, O and Q are not used in the Registration Series. The RR Series commences Tuesday.

The PP Series officially began on December 7, 2011 and came to an end Tuesday; a total period of approximately one year, like the previous ‘NN’ Series.

The tax agency said to date the registration series that lasted the longest is the HH Series, with 1993 being the base year. The ‘HH’ Series commenced June 2000 and ended September 2003 (3yrs 3months).

Current trends indicate that more vehicles are being bought and registered over an increasingly shorter period.

Persons preparing to register new vehicles are reminded that Motor Vehicle Licence is valid until the anniversary of registration the following year. GRA is also reminding persons to renew their Motor Vehicle Licence at GRA’s new Camp Street Headquarters, 200-201 Camp Street, South Cummingsburg, between Middle and Quamina Streets apart from the Licence Revenue Office and GRA’s Regional Integrated Tax Offices.

Additionally, Taxpayers who receive reminder notices from the GRA about the renewal date for the Motor Vehicle licences are encouraged to visit branches of the Bank of Baroda, Demerara Bank or the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) to pay for the renewal of their Motor Vehicle Licence.  Registration of Vehicles continues at the Licence Revenue Office, Smyth and Princes Streets, Georgetown.
