What fees apply if my vehicle is registered in Manhattan, New York.
For the renewal or original registration of all passenger vehicles, the vehicle use tax is 80$ for 2 years and for livery and for-hire vehicles in these registration classes, the fee is 400$ for 1 year.
Okay, that's it. Now, let's talk about renewal. Would I get this money back as soon as I return my plates?
When you surrender your plates, your Receipt FS-6 T indicates if you are eligible to receive a refund.  If you are eligible and you do not request a transfer receipt, the refund will be processed automatically and you will receive it in the mail in several weeks.
