The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) yesterday announced that the Motor Vehicle Registration Series ‘PP’ has come to an end. The next available registration letters are ‘RR’ since the alphabet letters I, O and Q are not used in the Registration Series. The RR Series commenced yesterday.
GRA said that the PP Series officially began on December 7, 2011 and came to an end on Tuesday; a total of nearly one year, like the previous ‘NN’ Series.
The registration series that lasted the longest is the HH Series, with 1993 being the base year. The ‘HH’ Series started in June 2000 and ended September 2003.
The GRA noted that current trends indicate that more vehicles are being bought and registered over an increasingly shorter period.
Persons preparing to register new vehicles were reminded that the Motor Vehicle Licence is valid until the anniversary of registration the following year. Members of the public were also reminded that they can renew their Motor Vehicle Licence at GRA’s new Camp Street Headquarters, 200-201 Camp Street, South Cummingsburg, between Middle and Quamina Streets apart from the Licence Revenue Office and GRA’s Regional Integrated Tax Offices.
Further, taxpayers who receive reminder notices from the GRA about the renewal date for the Motor Vehicle licences are encouraged to visit branches of the Bank of Baroda, Demerara Bank or the Guyana Bank for Trade and Industry (GBTI) to pay for the renewal of their Motor Vehicle Licence. Registration of vehicles continues at the Licence Revenue Office, Smyth and Princes streets, Georgetown.
