If a vehicle is sold on March 15th, but the annual municipal road tax (IVTM) for the previous calendar year was never paid, what will happen when the buyer tries to transfer the ownership at the DGT?
A)The DGT will completely block the transfer of ownership until the outstanding municipal road tax is paid in full.Correct
B)The DGT will process the transfer normally but will automatically add the debt to the buyer's new registration profile.
C)The transfer will proceed, as outstanding local taxes do not affect state-level DGT registration procedures.
The DGT will freeze any change of ownership if the vehicle has an outstanding IVTM (road tax) balance from the previous year. By law, the person who owned the car on January 1st of that tax year must settle it before the system clears the vehicle for sale.
