Following an upsurge in complaints from buyers of reconditioned vehicles, the Guyana Revenue Authority will from January 1st next year require that an inspection certificate be provided from their place of import and given to it by the salespersons here.
However, vehicles already purchased and shipped prior to January 1st 2025 will not be affected by the new rule.
Commissioner-General of the GRA Godfrey Statia told the Sunday Stabroek that there has been a proliferation of problems recently, ranging from mileage changes to defective engines and other parts.
The new implementation plan has seen a push back from local car dealers with some wanting to have the period extended to March of next year while others have asked for it to be scrapped.
