Escalation of additional penalty fee(s) and fine(s) will be further imposed if the Road Tax remains unpaid.

Please note that a warrant to seize the vehicle will be issued once the road tax is not paid 2.5 months from its expiry date. If the Road Tax remains unpaid, LTA will take court action against the vehicle owner. Vehicle that is seized by LTA will be auctioned off to recover the tax and fees due.
