Cabinet reduces vehicle ownership transfer fees

AMMAN — The Cabinet on Sunday approved amendments to a draft by-law governing vehicle and driver licensing and registration fees for 2016.

The changes are aimed at reducing additional fees on the transfer of ownership for vehicles that are more than 10 years old, and included exempting agricultural and construction vehicles from ownership transfer fees, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

Under the amended by-law, a car with an engine size of 1,500cc will be subject to transfer fees of JD40 instead of JD50; fees for sizes between 1,501cc and 2,000cc will be JD80 instead of JD100; for those between 2,001cc and 3,000cc, it will be JD120 instead of JD400; and for 3,001cc-4,000cc, it will be JD150 instead of JD550.
