A Thai friend just bought a used Scoopy scooter from a sort of dealer, a guy working from his home.
The tax hasn't been paid for 3 years , I took the green book to one of the places that does your tax and insurance and asked if I can pay the outstanding tax there. She said yes, about 580 Baht. No problem with that, it's what I expected.
Took the bike today to do the test as it's an older bike and they said it's not on our system so we have to reregister it, get a new green book, new registration and change ownership. Also the dealer who sold her the bike completed or signed the wrong form, spoke to him and he will provide the correct form.
Has anyone else had this problem with paying back tax? I know we have to pay the tax plus small fine but I don't see why we have to get new book and plate?
