Law / I took my car to Poland. Should I pay "recycling fee" again? Changing car registration. [7]

Hello Everybody,

I would like to get some information if possible. I have a car already registered in Bulgaria with everything paid, and since me and my fiancee decided to move and live in Poland, I took the car with me, I read somewhere I have to register the car in 6 months after I am officially registered here and entered the country with the car. I figured all the steps and details I have to do, just one thing is not very clear and couldn't find it anywhere. It is regarding the so call "recycling fee", in Bulgaria we also have a similar fee and I have already paid it there /since it is mandatory and car cannot be registered without it/. My question is if I have a document that I have paid this kind of a tax already according to my local law /which is synchronized with the European law/ do I have to pay it again when registering the car in Poland, which doesn't make any sense for me and I would prefer not to pay again 500PLN?

Any information or previous experience is appreciated, since I am looking for a similar case and information about it, but with no luck.

Thank you in advance and looking forward for your answers!

I can wait till 1st of July, no problems, I registered in Poland at the end of January, of this is the case, that would be great. I have insurance for the car and I can drive it for now. Can you sent some reference to this statement you did, like an article or some record that this law will be introduced or already is?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Harry,
I guess you are right, and there is no evidence that I have been with the car to Poland for the last 6 months, since there is no border authority, to check when I have brought the car. The insurance I don't worry, since my colleagues at work gave me a hint how to get a discount. I will write my future father in law as a co-owner and use his discount.

As to going back to Bulgaria and selling it to somebody and buying it back, it doesn't make any sense for me, since it will be with the same documents and story, anyway, for polish authority it will be an imported car, never mind when the car was imported 2 years ago or 2 months ago, maybe I'm wrong, but sounds logic to me. I will just have to fund a trip and pay the taxis to selling it and buying it back :)
