New taxis using the following propellants will enjoy ARF rebate under the GVR Scheme:

CARBON EMISSIONS-BASED VEHICLE (CEV) SCHEME

The CEV Scheme will apply to new taxis registered from 1 January 2013.

The CEV scheme takes into consideration a vehicle's carbon emissions and fuel efficiency to encourage consumers to shift to low emission models. Cars with low carbon emissions will qualify for rebates which are given as an offset against the vehicle's Additional Registration Fee (ARF) payable. Cars with high carbon emissions will incur a corresponding registration surcharge.

CEV rebates will be implemented from 1 January 2013. CEV surcharges will be implemented from 1 July 2013.

Details of the CEV bandings for taxis are as follow:

When a taxi is de-registered before 8 years of age, PARF rebate may be granted if the taxi is eligible for PARF benefit. PARF rebate is computed based on the age of the taxi when it is de-registered.

For more information on PARF rebates, please refer to De-register a vehicle at LTA information & Guideline.

Taxi that uses diesel, CNG or petrol-CNG is subjected to Special Tax in addition to Road Tax.

From 1 January 2012, CNG and petrol-CNG taxis will not be subjected to Special Tax. Instead, a CNG duty will apply. Please visit the National Environment Agency's website for further details.

It is an offence for anyone to keep, use or allow the use of a vehicle without valid Road Tax. In addition, Road Tax late renewal fee(s) will be imposed once the Road Tax of a vehicle expires. 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.
