FAQs

    1. Paragraph 1 of Article 27 of Highway Act states:“It costs expenditures for highway authorities to conduct maintenance, repair and construction, safeguard, and management for highways. Fuel fee need to be collected.” Paragraph 2 of the same Article states:“…how fuel fee collected and distributed is regulated by Ministry of Finance with which Ministry of Transportation and Communications negotiates ….”So, based on a principle of “carrying out administrative policies according to laws and regulations,” the highway authorities must collect fuel fee from vehicle owners.
  •  If a vehicle owner who does not live at his or her household registration address does not receive notification of fuel fee, what can he or she do? 
    1. Except for the juridical persons, vehicle owners can submit the application form for changing mailing address. 
  • I can use a system of transferring money in automatic deduction from a bank account to pay my vehicle license tax. However, can I use the same system to pay my fuel fee? 
    1. To supply diverse approaches of paying fuel fee, since 2004, we have opened the system of transfer accounts to make automatic payment for fuel fee in financial institutions. Please make a payment of fuel fee for your commercial vehicle before an expiry date of the payment collection period in every season (spring: March 31; summer: June 30; autumn: September 30; winter: December 31). For private vehicles, please pay your fee in automatic deduction from a bank account on July 31 every year. Please also make good use of the system of transfer accounts to make automatic payment .
    2. If you set up an automatic payment, at present, a commission fee is paid by our Department. A notification form will not be sent, but a payment receipt will be sent after the day of deducting money from a bank account. If any change matter of a vehicle such as transfer, revocation, cancellation, suspension, stop driving, and change of address away from Kaohsiung City, is proceeded, our Department will terminate initiatively the procedure of transfer deduction.

  • I have already paid the vehicle fuel fee for this year. Why have I received a second payment notice?
    1. The fuel fee for private vehicles is levied on 1 July every year. To ensure that vehicle owners receive the payment notice by June 30, the MVO must select files for the printing house that prints and mails the notices. Due to differences in operating time, owners who have transferred their vehicles to others (and have already paid the fuel fee for that year) may receive the vehicle fuel fee notice a second time. In this case, please retain the original receipt and do not pay the vehicle fuel fee again.
  • After buying a vehicle sold by the court, should the buyer pay its accumulated debts of vehicle fuel fee? 
    1. According to the public announcement of Ministry of Transportation and Communications on June 13, 2000 (Lu-tai-ji-89-zih No.12804), the person who needs to pay the debts is the winner of the auction.
