Everyone seems to be leaving for the last minute the purchase of the license plate stickers. According to the Dirección General de Impuestos Internos, the government department in charge of internal taxes, original estimates were that about RD$5 million in stickers would be sold per day. In reality, since the stickers went on sale on 23 August, they never have collected more than RD$2 million in a day. In the first month of sales, from 23 August to 23 September, has generated only RD$9.4 million of an estimated RD$195 million. Of this amount, RD$6 million was collected during the first week. Drivers have only picked up 28,700 of a total 800,000 stickers that are available. All vehicles need to get their stickers by 23 October.
