    First registration tax?

    I am finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, received the taxable value for my imported motorcycle after 9 months of headaches. For people who have done this is the tax charged on the amount listed or is the amount listed the amount of tax that I have to pay? I hope it's not the latter.....

    Should be the former:

    Step 5 : Calculation of First Registration Tax

    5.1 In general, the first registration tax of vehicle will be derived from the taxable value
    times the appropriate tax rates as shown below:

    Class of Motor Vehicle Rate of Tax
    I. Private cars
    (a) on the first $150,000 40%
    (b) on the next $150,000 75%
    (c) on the next $200,000 100%
    (d) on the remainder 115%

    II. Motor cycles and motor tricycles 35%

    III. (a) Goods vehicles, other than van-type light goods vehicles (LGV) 15%
    (b) Van-type LGV not exceeding 1.9 tonnes permitted gross
    vehicle weight :-
    (i) on the first $150,000 35%
    (ii) on the next $150,000 65%
    (iii) on the remainder 85%
    (c) Van-type LGV exceeding 1.9 tonnes permitted gross vehicle
    weight 17%

    IV. Taxis, Light buses, Buses and Special purpose vehicles 3.7%

    Seeing this - how much would a McLaren cost here then?!
