If a vehicle is de-registered before its COE expires, the vehicle’s registered owner may be granted a rebate on the Quota Premium (QP) paid, pro-rated to the number of months and days remaining on the vehicle’s COE. For vehicles registered using Category E (Open) COEs, the rebate will be based on the QP of Category E, or its corresponding category from the same bidding exercise, whichever is lower.
Prevailing Quota Premiums for Existing Vehicles
Owners of existing vehicles can renew their COEs by paying the Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP), which is a moving average of the quota premium of the respective vehicle categories over the last 3 months, i.e. from the November 2013 to January 2014 bidding exercises. Owners of existing vehicles can renew their COEs using the PQP for February 2014 with effect from Friday, 24 January 2014.
The PQP for the four categories for the month of February 2014[1] are as follows:
| Prevailing Quota Premiums | February 2014 | January 2014 | Difference |
