Vehicle owners face mandatory tax payments with financial incentive to pay in January (3% discount) or spread costs via three installments. Late payments incur daily penalties (0.33%) and interest, creating cash flow pressure on households and increasing compliance costs.
The staggered payment schedule by license plate distributes tax collection across three months, smoothing state revenue flow. The 3% discount encourages early payment and reduces administrative collection costs. Penalty structure (0.33% daily + interest) aims to ensure compliance and deter delinquency.
