Work out a car's Additional Registration Fee from its OMV on LTA's 100% to 320% tiers, with the 2026 VES band, the EEAI for electric cars, the S$5,000 minimum and the PARF you get back.
The Additional Registration Fee is a tax you pay when you register a car in Singapore. LTA charges it on the car's Open Market Value (OMV) in 5 tiers, from 100% on the first S$20,000 to 320% on every dollar above S$80,000.
100% of the first S$20,000 of OMV, 140% of the next S$20,000, 190% of the next S$20,000, 250% of the next S$20,000 and 320% above S$80,000. A car with an OMV of S$30,000 pays S$34,000 before the VES.
No. LTA's tax structure, last updated 14 Sep 2026, shows the same tiers as from February 2023. Budget 2026 cut the PARF rebate instead: for COEs from the second February 2026 bidding it is 30% of the ARF paid within 5 years, down to 5% at 10 years, capped at S$30,000.
In 2026 a band A car gets S$22,500 off the ARF, band B has no change, and bands C1, C2 and C3 pay S$7,500, S$22,500 and S$35,000 more. In 2027 the figures are S$20,000 off, nil, and S$15,000, S$30,000 and S$45,000 more.
The EV Early Adoption Incentive takes up to 45% off the ARF of a fully electric car, capped at S$7,500 for cars registered in 2026. It ends on 31 Dec 2026; from 2027 only the VES rebate applies.
Yes. After rebates the ARF cannot fall below S$5,000. For fully electric cars registered from 1 Jan 2022 to 31 Dec 2027 the minimum is S$0.
Excise duty of 20% of the OMV and a S$350 registration fee, on top of the ARF and the COE. GST and the dealer's margin are in the car price.
That is the PARF rebate. It depends on when your COE was obtained and the car's age at deregistration. Use the PARF rebate calculator for your car's figure.
