means that having a 9.9hp need to pay 120euro every year or just one for the registration?

[sirena]

does the definition of yacts also  includes perse open boats ,cabin boats and speed boats ,or they are  a separate category .

The document quoted above talks about annual registration, which I understand means every year i.e. the annual registration renewal

Unless there is some mistake in the above table, this is clearly daylight robbery in the case of the smallest boats.

Till now boats with small engines (up to 9.9 hp) pay 34.94 euros (LM15) every 5 years for registration renewal - it works out at about 7 euros per year.

So does it mean that I will now have to pay 120 euros every year for my microscopic 10 foot boat with a 3 hp engine when up to now I was paying just 7 euros per year?

This would be a ridiculous 1600% increase. On the other hand boats with larger engines will have more reasonable increases (although probably still rather unwelcome) - for example boats with engines above 150 hp will see an increase from 139.76 euros to 200 euros, which works out at a somewhat more reasonable 43%)

I am only hoping that this is some sort of error and that the new fees for boats without engines and boats with engines up to 9.9 hp also refer to five year periods as in the current MMA schedule of fees (http://www.mma.gov.mt/yacting_fees.htm).
