Government together with JCC has put a website for online payments of road tax at http://rtd.mcw.gov.cy/ (click on the icon on the right). I went all the way to credit card authorization.

Does anybody have any idea what happens after payment? In normal case, when you go to a co-op, they will put a stamp on your road tax disc. Obviously they cannot do it in this case.

If it worked, it would be very convenient as this year I didn't receive road tax discs for some reason (even though I passed MOT in December). Otherwise I have to waste a few hours in the queue in road transport dept. offices...

I already paid for this year. I don't know if it works or not. What I know is that the government should hire some good designers. Their sites look crappy!

Hazard I think they will post it, I'll try it tonight as well, 'cose I hate ques!!!

[hazard]

relevant article:

More than 700 persons had renewed their road tax online through the JCC Smart web site from the comfort of their offices or homes and away from the long queues that they normally face either at the Coops or at the Inland Transport Departments islandwide.

A JCC Payment System spokesman told the Financial Mirror that by early Tuesday, just 24 hours after the consortium announced that it was accepting payments on behalf of the Transport Department through credit cards, more than 700 had taken advantage.

The government hopes that the establishment of an online payment method for the annual or biannual tax on motor vehicles will bring an end to the long lines formed at the Inland Transport every year just before the road tax due date.

The online system, available 24 hours per day, can be accessed by visiting: www.jccsmart.com, where users may follow easy to follow instructions to pay their road tax dues. Note that you need to have your registration number, the details of your ID card, the insurance company and policy number of your vehicle. The receipt and road tax sticker that you apply will then arrive by mail in several days.

Update - I paid it online, and got the road tax disc in my postal mailbox after one and a half days.

[Sotos]

I read in the news that over 3500 people registered successfully online! These are good news. Lets hope for more services like that from the government. I hate waiting in lines!!

I always tax my car at the Larnaca office which is about 10 mins walk from my Cyprus home -- get there early and you won't have to wait more than half an hour.
