I have relocated from the UK March 2024 , brought my own car to Malta and taking advantage of the exemption from registration tax . I will keep the car for the 2 years as the rules state .

If I sell the car here after the 2 years will the new owner have to pay the registration Tax at that point ? , a local car dealer has told me this is the case .

Stating the obvious this will devalue the car here , if the new owner has to factor in paying this Tax

I bought my car from the UK 7 years ago and the agreement was to qualify for the exemption of registration tax you had to prove you had owned the car for 2 years in the UK? & if you sell the car the tax is to be paid unless you scrap it.
