Upon scrapping the old car, the owner should approach the Hong Kong Licensing Office to arrange for the de-registration of his old car and at the same time apply for a FRT concession entitlement certificate.
The entitlement can only be valid for six months from the date the old car was scrapped.
"Moreover, it is important to note that if you have been granted FRT concession under the scheme and you subsequently wish to sell your replacement private car within one year from the date of its registration, you must pay to the Hong Kong Government the FRT concession granted to you," the spokesman said.
A leaflet on how to apply for the first registration tax concession under the scrapping incentive scheme is now available free of charge at the four licensing offices:
Hong Kong Licensing Office on third floor, United Centre, 95 Queensway, Hong Kong;
Kowloon Licensing Office, on ninth floor, Park-in Commercial Centre, 56 Dundas Street, Kowloon;
Kwun Tong Licensing Office on fifth floor, Kowloon East Government Offices, 12 Lei Yue Mun Road, Kowloon;
Sha Tin Licensing Office on fifth floor, Citylink Plaza, Shatin Railway Station, Sha Tin.
Enquiries for the scheme can be made to Hong Kong Licensing Office on 2804 2637 or 2804 2638, or by fax to 2804 2599.
