Hi Caroline,

congratulations and thanks for giving the feedback. Every little bit of info helps to understand Malta -)))

Nice :-)

did TM confirm who exactly is allowed to drive your car while in Malta ?

Everything is legal and above board George. We are named drivers and anyone else over 25 with our permission on our insurance. We have already been driving a car which we purchased here nearly 4 years ago and registered to us.

I thought if a car is exempted from the registration tax, you are very limited as to who can drive it

here's the Act

http://www.justiceservices.gov.mt/Downl … =10401&l=1

page 6

(15) A motor vehicle in respect of which an exemption has been
granted under this rule, shall not be sold, assigned, transferred,
hired out, lent or disposed of in any manner in Malta, unless it is
scrapped in accordance with the provisions of the Registration and
Licensing of Motor Vehicles Regulations, following its importation
or its bringing into Malta unless the vehicle registration tax to
which the exemption aforesaid relates is paid thereon in accordance
with the provisions of the Second Schedule to the Act.

The car was not exempted from the registration tax. We had to pay that along with the road licence etc.

Oh George, you do like to put the cat among the pigeons!

I am not unintelligent and checked everthing meticulously to make sure all was legal.

obviously did not check my spelling on that last post. I meant 'everything'! I put it down to 'finger fatigue'! :-)
