This Tuesday, the Head of Government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, announced that this week a bill will be sent to the Buenos Aires Legislature to implement changes in the VTV (Vehicle Technical Verification).
In principle, the president proposed that the exemption from the VTV for new cars, it will take three to four years. In other words, those who buy a vehicle this year will the verification until 2027.
Likewise, Rodríguez Larreta explained that the validity of the VTV, which will last from one to two years; however “they will have to do the VTV annually those cars that are eight years old or reach sixty thousand kilometers”.
The proposal, which will be sent by the Together for Change block, seeks to generate “relief in the pocket” of citizensas explained by the Buenos Aires president.
The City Government also announced that, with the new project, it intends that retirees and people with disabilities are exempt from payment. For this, their condition must be certified by means of a document.
Rodríguez Larreta expressed that with these measures, not only will the pocket of citizens be relieved, but procedures will also be simplified, since time will be saved, which in turn represents a better quality of life for people.
“Less time doing paperwork means more quality of life for people and also more productivity for our economy, because companies are dedicated to their own business, instead of bureaucracy. Changing the way we relate to the State is part of the change that Argentina needs. I go to work every day for that.”
How often will the VTV have to be done?
With the announced changes, a new car, in its first eight years, will go from doing six times the verification to do it only threesince, currently, a new car carried out its first verification at the age of three and then it did so annually until the age of eight.
In this sense, with the new law, the scheme will remain as follows: first review after four years; second at six and third at eight. In monetary terms, this means that a citizen, instead of spending $42,000 in six checks, will spend $21,000 over eight years. This way you will save half the money.
