                    [Summary] => Former Ambassador to Washington Ernesto Maceda and his two advisers cannot bring in their luxury vehicles without paying taxes, after all.


Records show that only Maceda’s 2000 Mercedes Benz S500, which costs $77,850 in the US market, met the six-month registration required under the Foreign Service Act of 1991 for tax- and duty-free entry.


However, the vehicle’s cost exceeded the $36,000 ceiling for non-dutiable vehicles of ambassadors, thus he still needs to pay the corresponding tax for the balance.
