Amendment to Revised Motor Vehicle Law Re: Registration Fees for Part of Year
Republic Act No. 968, enacted on June 20, 1953, amends Section 11 of the Revised Motor Vehicle Law regarding registration fees for vehicles. It establishes a tiered fee structure based on the quarter in which a vehicle is first registered: full fee for the first quarter, three-fourths for the second, half for the third, and one-fourth for the fourth. The amendment clarifies that this provision does not permit quarterly renewals to avoid full annual payments, with an exception for agricultural vehicles, which may be registered monthly during their usage period. The Act took effect upon approval and was published in the Official Gazette.
