Exemption from Payment of the Vehicle Registration Tax

Overview

The aim of this scheme is to provide support and financial assistance to persons with disability and their families to acquire a means of transportation suitable for their needs.

What you'll get

The Ministry of Finance, on Aġenzija Sapport’s recommendation, issues an exemption on the Registration Tax on the vehicles being applied for.

Eligibility

  • Persons with disability and guardians/parents of such persons.
  • It is important that the vehicle is NOT purchased and registered in Malta before passing through the whole process and a letter of Approval from the Ministry of Finance and Employment is issued.
  • The vehicle that will eventually be purchased must not have an active Maltese registration.
  • If the vehicle is registered before or during the processing phase, then the application will be closed. This would also mean that the applicant can only apply for the Road License Exemption on registered vehicle.
  • Furthermore, if the individual is applying for the first time, or if their vehicle requirements have altered from a previous application, they will be required to attend to an appointment with the Occupational Therapist for assessment.
  • If the person’s disability started at the age of 65 or after, he/she has to be the driver in order to benefit from the Vehicle Registration Tax Exemption.  However, this does not apply for individuals applying on Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles.
