Luciano Busuttil’s ‘disabled’ wife may have been exempted from car registration tax and road licence payments
Disabled drivers registered with the National Commission for the Disabled, who hold a ‘blue badge’ entitling them to special parking privileges, may also benefit under the law from a full or partial exemption from paying registration tax when they buy a new car, and also from a free road licence.
If Dorothy Busuttil Fitzpatrick, who is married to Labour MP and Malta Sports Council chairman Luciano Busuttil, bought her Alfa Romeo car in the last four years – she was registered as a disabled driver in 2013 despite never being seen without a pair of high heels on – she may have been exempted from all or part of the registration tax on it, and may also have benefited from a waiver on full road licence fees for the last four years.
This is the story background you need if you’re not up to speed.
I have tried to ring Luciano Busuttil to ask him whether his ‘disabled’ wife has benefitted from the government scheme and paid no registration tax when buying her car, and whether she has been exempted from road licence fees in the last four years, but he let the phone ring and didn’t even bother hitting the call-reject button this time. Meanwhile, I have sent him the following message and will let you know if and when I receive a reply:
Further to the ‘blue badge’ reports, did your wife benefit from full or part exemption on car registration tax and/or free road licence?
