DVLA STICKERS FOR LUXURY VEHICLES OUT IN JANUARY

The Driver Vehicle Licensing Authority will begin issuing specialised stickers for the Luxury Vehicle Levy (LVL) beginning January 2019.

The implementation of the LVL law is already in full force after Parliament passed the bill this year to impose an annual levy on vehicles with high engine capacities.

Vehicles with engine capacity of two thousand, nine hundred and fifty (2950) Cubic Centimeters and more are required to pay respective levies.

1	2950cc – 3549cc	GH¢1,000
2	3550cc – 4049cc	GH¢1,500
3	Above 4049cc	GH¢2,000

 

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is authorized by the Law to collect the levy on behalf of Government.

Description of LVL Stickers.

The LVL stickers are of the same shape and size like the normal roadworthy stickers except that they are printed in three different colours with additional printed “LVL,” information according to the three designations LVL1, LVL2, and LVL3 which are to be issued according to the category of vehicles that pay the levy.
