How to pay your road tax via MauPass
The motor vehicle licence in Mauritius, commonly referred to as “declaration” or road tax, is now payable online only via MauPass as from 1 July 2025. Vehicle owners can choose to pay for 3 months, 6 months or 12 months (1 year). The amount payable depends on the engine capacity and type of vehicle, as well as the updated rates announced in the 2025 budget.
Please note: All road tax transactions, including renewals and late payments, must be completed online through the MauPass platform. If your vehicle has a special licence (such as a taxi, contract car, contract bus or goods vehicle), you must first get approval from the NTA Head Office before making your road tax payment online. This ensures that your special licence is valid and up to date.
If you’re having issues with online payment via MauPass, the Post Office can still assist you with processing your application and documents.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make your payment online.
Step-by-step guide to pay road tax via MauPass
- Log in to MauPass: Visit https://maupass.govmu.org, enter your credentials, and complete any OTP verification if required.
- Select Motor Vehicle Licence Payment: From the dashboard, go to “Services” and choose “Motor Vehicle Licence (Road Tax) Payment”.
- Verify vehicle details: Confirm your vehicle’s registration number, type, engine capacity, and fee due (including any penalty if applicable).
- Select duration: Choose to pay for 3 months, 6 months or 12 months.
- Complete payment: Pay securely using your preferred method (Visa/MasterCard, Juice, MauCas or Internet banking).
- Save your receipt: Download or print the receipt and keep it with your vehicle documents as proof of payment.

Update as per 2025 Budget
In the 2025–2026 national budget, the Government announced an increase in the annual motor vehicle licence (road tax) fees, effective from 1 July 2025. The fee increase ranges from Rs 200 to Rs 4,000 depending on the type and engine capacity of the vehicle. In addition, the 50% discounted rate for hybrid and electric vehicles has been removed, meaning these vehicles will now pay the full annual licence fee. Vehicle owners are advised to check the updated rates applicable to their vehicle category when renewing their licence.
What happens if road tax is renewed late?
If you do not renew your motor vehicle licence within 15 days of its expiry, you will have to pay a fine of 50% of the amount due upon renewal. If you do not intend, for any reason whatsoever, to renew your motor vehicle licence, you should, before the date of expiry, notify the Road Transport Commissioner in writing by registered post of your intention not to do so. Make sure that your letter reaches the Commissioner on or before the date of expiry of your licence, otherwise the 50% fine will be applicable.
How to obtain a duplicate motor vehicle licence in case of loss?
If you lose your motor vehicle licence document, you no longer need to report it to the police. Since payments and records are now managed digitally via MauPass, you can simply log in to your MauPass account and reprint your motor vehicle licence receipt at any time. Make sure to keep a copy of your receipt (digital or printed) in your vehicle as proof of payment.
