– Agency to network with Guyana Police ForceThe Guyana Revenue Authority announced on Wednesday that beginning January 1, 2012, a new Motor Vehicle Licences (MVLs) system will be introduced.Under this new system,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, MVLs will be valid for a period of one (1) year effective from the anniversary date of registration of the motor vehicle, as opposed to the current system where MVLs are only valid for the year in which they were purchased. Hence,NFL Jerseys From China, if a motor vehicle was registered on January 15,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, 2011, then the anniversary date for renewal will be January 15, 2012.Addressing the issue, Commissioner-General Mr. Khurshid Sattaur noted that the new system will “improve the quality of service provided to the public and reduce the strains and frustrations felt by the staff of the GRA and the public we serve.”Vehicle owners who renewed their MVL during 2011 will only be required to produce a copy of their Motor Vehicle Registration Certificates when purchasing their 2012 Motor Vehicle Licences. Owners of ‘enclosed goods vehicles’ and ‘yellow cabs’ are still required to present their vehicles for mandatory inspection by the Licence Officer.

Persons residing outside of Region four (4) can renew or purchase their licences at their nearest GRA regional office. MVLs will no longer be sold at contingency outlets such as,Jerseys Wholesale, the Tax Operations and Services Department and the Customs and Trade Administration Department.These new measures are designed to reduce the number of vehicle owners visiting the Licence Revenue Office during the ‘peak licencing period’.
