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 December 2014 to February 2015 bidding exercises. Owners of existing vehicles can renew their COEs using the PQP for March 2015 with effect from Thursday, 19 February 2015.
The PQP for the four categories for the month of March 2015[1] are as follows:
Application forms for renewal of COEs are available at LTA, 10 Sin Ming Drive, and can also be downloaded from our website at www.onemotoring.com.sg.
[1] Cars that were registered/converted using TCOEs obtained before the Feb 2014 1st bidding exercise will continue to be classified based on the engine capacity of the car only (i.e. Category A if engine capacity is 1,600cc and below, and Category B if engine capacity is 1,601cc and above). Cars that are registered/converted using TCOEs obtained from the Feb 2014 1st bidding exercise onwards will be subjected to the new classifications as described in the table below.
