The Isle of Man's Department of Infrastructure has reminded taxpayers of the online portal set up in November 2011 to ease the process of annual vehicle duty payment.

The taxation of motor vehicles in the Isle of Man is solely imposed via vehicle registration duties, which must be paid each year a motor vehicle is used or kept on any public road in the Isle of Man.

The online portal, which is in its pilot year, will allow around 70% of island taxpayers the opportunity to renew their licenses online. Uptake so far has been limited according to the island's Minister of Infrastructure, David Cretney, with 8% of licenses renewed in December done so online.

Cretney said: ?I would encourage as many people as possible to try the new facility. An initial registration is required, but thereafter the procedure is straightforward.?

Those eligible to use the scheme will be issued with a special code alongside their vehicle duty reminder to allow taxpayers to sign up to the scheme. Payment is otherwise available by the traditional methods, by post or via the Post Office.
