The decision of EU Justice Department,

is that the first registration tax in Romania is illegal. Used to be called first registration tax, than changed the name into polution tax, basically is the same: each car bought from abroad and registered in Romania must pay this tax in order to be registered.
In our case we talk about the amount of 475 Euros.
The Romanian government promised the reducing of this tax with 30% but this has not been applied yet, and it seems that is will not be applied before the autumn.
But if the tax is illegal, they should give it back 100% not just the 30% of it.

Unfortunately for us, in order to register the car we have to pay this tax now, and than wait and see what happens. How much we shall get back and when, nobody knows.
