What if I got a new vehicle and used the same plate?

If you took the plate from one vehicle and put it on another vehicle, you do not have to do anything to receive a reduction to your tax bill. If you transferred the plates after October 1, the bill that you receive in July will be for the old vehicle, and the following January you will receive a pro-rated tax bill on the new motor vehicle, with a pro-rated credit from the old motor vehicle applied to the new motor vehicle.
