Wheel Tax Rebate

What is a Wheel Tax Rebate?

For a qualifying senior or a disabled citizen, a rebate of the wheel tax that is included in your vehicle registration renewal is available each year. An eligible citizen may look forward to a standard rebate of up to $75 per year; the rebate will not be more than the wheel tax you paid.
