According to Local Tax Bureau of Taichung City Government, immobile vehicles that are too old or damaged beyond repair should be reported to scrap yard approved by environmental protection authorities for recycling in order to collect recycling reward. In addition, remember to remove 2 license plates and return them to motor vehicles authorities in order to scrap the vehicle and apply for tax refund of vehicle license tax.
The bureau elaborates that, when applying for vehicle recycling, it is imperative to obtain the scrap vehicle recycling form and license plates in order to complete the vehicle scrapping process with motor vehicles authorities. The vehicle owner must still pay vehicle license tax in accordance with the law until all related procedures are finished.
The bureau reminds the public that vehicle license tax is levied according to the number of days the vehicle is in use, therefore if full years’ tax has already been paid for the scrapped vehicle, the bureau will refund excess tax payment based on information provided by the motor vehicles authorities. If the public has any questions, please feel free to contact the bureau’s toll-free number at 0800-086969, and the staff will offer all the necessary assistance.
