For example, if the MSRP of your automobile is $20,000, the taxable value is $20,000 x 85% = $17,000.
Specific Ownership Tax: Using the taxable value of the vehicle, the Specific Ownership Tax is calculated using the following table:
1st year of service
|
2.1% of taxable value
|
2nd year of service
|
1.5% of taxable value

3rd year of service

4th year of service
