(r) When the secretary
of state computes a tax under this act, a computation that does not result in a
whole dollar figure must be rounded to the next lower whole dollar when the
computation results in a figure ending in 50 cents or less and must be rounded
to the next higher whole dollar if the computation results in a figure ending
in 51 cents or more, unless specific taxes are specified, and the secretary of
state may accept the manufacturer's shipping weight of the vehicle fully
equipped for the use for which the registration application is made. If the
weight is not correctly stated or is not satisfactory, the secretary of state
shall determine the actual weight. Each application for registration of a vehicle
under subdivisions (j) and (m) must have attached to the application a scale
weight receipt of the vehicle fully equipped as of the time the application is
made. The scale weight receipt is not necessary if there is presented with the
application a registration receipt of the previous year that shows on its face
the weight of the motor vehicle as registered with the secretary of state and
that is accompanied by a statement of the applicant that there has not been a
structural change in the motor vehicle that has increased the weight and that
the previous registered weight is the true weight.

not exempted under this act from paying ad valorem taxes on vehicles in stock
or bond, except on the specified number of motor vehicles registered. A dealer

registration plate, the secretary of state shall collect a late fee of $10.00
for each registration renewed after the expiration date. An application for a
renewal of a registration using the regular mail and postmarked before the
expiration date of that registration must not be assessed a late fee. The late
fee collected under this subsection must be deposited into the general fund. The
secretary of state shall waive the late fee collected under this subsection if
