RTSA To Increase Road Tax By 10%

THE Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has announced a proposed 10 percent increment on Road Tax.

The agency says parliament last week passed the Amendment Bill No. 47 of 2021 for 3rd reading.

RTSA Head of Public Relations Frederick Mubanga in a statement said the Bill proposes to revise Road Taxes payable by different categories of motor vehicles and trailers upwards by 10 percent.

Mubanga said the increment has been proposed considering the fact that Road Taxes were last adjusted over a decade ago.

He said a Toyota Vitz for example, whose annual Road Tax License has been K450, will now be costing K495.
