It is that time again, when the Tax Agency (DGII) begins the process of renewing the “marbete” otherwise known as the Tax for Vehicular Circulation Permit 2018 – 2019. Beginning on Monday, 1 October 2018, and lasting until 6 January 2019, the owners of motor vehicles in the Dominican Republic, some 1,814,324, will be responsible for renewing the stickers, either at commercial banks, savings and loan associations or the offices of the DGII. All payments at the banks and savings and loan associations and DGI I offices must be in cash.
The stickers can also be renewed online at www.dgii.gov.do. Those who do the online renewal will receive their new sticker at their office or place of residence according to their wishes. These online facilities are available through 7 December 2018.
The taxes this year will be the same as the taxes last year: RD $1,504 vehicles older than five years, and RD $3,000 for newer vehicles. After 7 January 2019, late-comers will be charged a special fee and this facility will only be available until Friday, 8 February, 2019. Generally speaking those who fail to obtain the new “marbete” and attempt to drive with an expired sticker are risking receiving a serious fine and the towing (at their cost) of their vehicle.
