The deadline for paying vehicle tax (for regular and light vehicles) may vary depending on your municipality, but generally, they are due by May 31st of each year. However, since May 31st falls on a Saturday this year, the tax will be due on Monday, June 2nd. If you owned a vehicle as of April 1st, you are required to pay vehicle tax.
