Anual Road Tax

[JUDAS]

Just like the title says. Road tax (if that's the right term) expires on 24th of this month, can I pay early or is it another one like the Thai driving license were it must expire first?

You can do it now. From what I was told by the local(s) you can do it up to a month early as is the case with the Thai driving licences now, my five year Thai driving license was duty to expire 31 Jan 09, on 6 Jan 09. May I suggest you also check with your local powers that be. Sometime things can differ from Tambon to Tambon

Thanks BigSnake, I'll get it sorted in the next few days then.

You can do it up to 6 months early. A few years ago ours was over 6 months out of date (I blame the missus for not telling me) and we paid 2 years at the same time, but still forgot to put the new one on until it was a few months overdue - doh. I've started to get the hang of it now and this years was paid and on the car a month early

How much is the car tax, and how do you renew?

Road tax is based on the type of vehicle, age and motor size I believe.

You need the Blue title book and take it to a authorized place such as Land Transport offices and pay the fees. You will need a copy of the compulsory insurance being paid before they will accept the road tax payment. I paid through my insurance company office. They took my book and went to the Transport offices for me. Service fee of a couple hundred baht.

If you vehicle book/title is held by another party such as a bank or loan company I believe they pay the fees but you must pay them before they will give you the new decal.
