The Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA) currently has 67 vehicles for sale at warehouses across the country.
An official at the tax agency told this publication that the vehicles, some of which are already registered, were used by the entity.
However, the agency in a notice published in the newspapers said, “Motor vehicles that can be registered would be assigned new registration numbers after full payment”.
On sale are Toyota Raums, Carinas and Cruisers, Nissan Bluebirds, X-Trail and several others which require repairs. In fact, GRA said some of the vehicles will even be sold as scrap on a ‘as is, where is’ basis, through bidding. Inspection of the vehicles commenced on Monday.
“The motor vehicles would be marked with individual numbers for easy identification. Bids must be placed in sealed envelopes bearing no identification of the bidder’s name on the outside and must be clearly marked on the top, left hand corner ‘Bid for Purchase of Motor Vehicles’ with the individual number affixed on the motor vehicle,” GRA said.
GRA was keen to note that payments must be made in cash or through a manager’s cheque within three working days of being informed, failure on the part of the successful bidder will result in the next bidder being considered.
A separate bid form will be required for each vehicle and bidders are only allowed to submit one document per stock number.
Successful bidders will be required to remove and transport their vehicles within five working days of being informed.
