For the second year in a row, the Manitoba Government will be reducing vehicle registration fees.
The fees will be reduced by an additional 10 per cent starting on July 1st. The province says this will keep around $15 million in the pockets of Manitoba drivers.
The registration fee decrease applies to non-commercial vehicles, resulting in an annual registration fee of $129 for most vehicles.
Owners of other non-commercial vehicles will also benefit from reduced registration fees.
Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler says Manitobans will benefit from a $10 decrease to the existing $139 vehicle registration fee as a continued step to reverse the 30 per cent increase in 2012 implemented by the previous administration.
He says reducing these fees is a step toward making life more affordable for Manitobans.
Combined with last year’s 10 per cent reduction, the province has reduced fees by 20 per cent in two years.
