According to the Tax Agency (DGII), as of 7 January 2019, 13% of the vehicle park had yet to renew the permission for a vehicle to be on the road, or its “marbete”. According to the DGII, some 170,000 vehicle owners still needed to purchase the sticker for their vehicles.
The DGII reports receiving revenues for the issuing of marbetes of RD$1.9billion as of Monday, 7 January 2019, with an estimated RD$2.14 billion pending to be paid.
Those who do not pay by the cut-off date will have to pay a fine of RD$1,500. As of 8 January 2019, vehicles that do not display the sticker may be impounded by Digesett agents (the former Amet).
The renewal process started on 1 October 2018. Those vehicles five years old or less pay RD$3,000 and those over five years old pay RD$1,500.
