For some reason the government (who are up for election this year) decided to discontinue the fee for renewing licence plates, and refund what's been paid in the last year. I find this totally incomprehensible.
David, I was just wondering how much tax is on a liter of fuel there. In Ohio we pay 38.5 cents on a gallon of gas and the feds ad another 49.5 cents. Diesel gets hit 47 cents by the state and 54.6 cents by the feds. I didn't mean to imply your tax had gone up.
We are using less fuel so they want to add a tax to energy efficient vehicles to make them pay higher taxes. Ohio currently adds a yearly fee of $100 to hybreds and a $200 fee to electrics
As for the fee for renewing license plates that you pay is it just the charge for registering, or the entire cost of the plates. I think the "registration fee" here is $5.00 per plate which goes to the license bureau that does the paper work for the state. The fee for a passenger car for a year is 31.00 plus we pay an additional 15 bucks for the township per plate so the fee is 46 bucks for the car The truck and motor home are a total of $63 each (plus the $5 registration fee), (Only the government can figure a way to make you pay a fee to pay a tax)
