I sell cars, I should probably know this. But is the GGT a continuous charge? I think I might end up with a V instead of a Vette, but don't want to keep paying that extra tax every year. Does it reoccur with personal property? Or is it a one time think just factored into the sticker?

Pretty sure it's a one time thing.

One time thing for us in America. I think in some European countries the taxes on higher displacement/lower fuel economy cars are recurring, don't quote me on that.

One time payment.

Doesn't the new Vette have cylinder deactivation? I'm surprised it couldn't get around the GGT.

The Vette does. The V does not.

It should be a one time fee when you buy the car new. But the registration may be a little more money each year than a non ggt car.

If you're getting a used V I don't think that you have to pay the ggt again.

For example, in Belgium, it would cost about 5000 Euro to register a Mustang (GT or V6) and the insurance cost will most likely be the same.

It is based on hp and/or engine size whichever is gives the bigger tax.

To give you an example, a friend of mine bought an Audi A3 years ago. He bough the 166hp Diesel version because it was cheaper to insure and register (quite a bit cheaper) than the 172hp version.

Damn that's awful taxation.

I know you've been answered already but it's worth mentioning it's listed on the window sticker when applicable.

You also have to have them inspected after 4 years (when you buy them brand new) or before you sell them. And every year after that. Which is a good thing in my opinion

Here is to give you an idea of the costs: http://www.touring-assurances.be/auto/comprendr… (Touring is the equivalent of AAA) just for registration.

Oh I know. I see those stickers every day lol. I just wasn't sure if it was something that was charged repeatedly with your PPT.

As you've seen it's one time, and only when buying new. Are you going new?
