Hello - using a friends motorbike and she asked me to help her pay the taxes on it. They havent been paid in a few years as she has been out of the country since before COVID - the sticker says 2561.
Does anyone know if the transport office makes you backpay all the years or just this current year to update the road tax? Dont want to get in trouble or pay a huge fine!
Thank you kindly if you have some accurate information 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the process of paying road tax for a motorbike that has not been taxed for several years. It appears that if taxes have not been paid for multiple years, both back payments and the current year's tax must be settled. If the tax is overdue for several years (generally reported as 5 years), the vehicle’s registration might be revoked, necessitating complete re-registration and new documents. Users emphasize the importance of checking with the Department of Land Transport (DLT) for specific procedures, as many factors can affect the requirements based on how long taxes have been overdue and whether or not the vehicle's registration has been canceled.
