Motorists can soon get cash when de-registering cars
From September, motorists will be able to get cash when de-registering their cars.

This follows the completion of a review of the Preferential Additional Registration Fee and Certificate of Entitlement rebates which was announced in March.

The review was conducted with a view to making it easier for car owners to give up their cars and switch to public transport.

The Land Transport Authority or LTA says that motorists who want to exchange their rebates for cash can do so through the One.Motoring portal from September the 1st.

Alternatively, they can mail the completed application form for encashment.

The form can also be found on the One.Motoring portal.

LTA says it will provide more details on the procedures nearer the implementation date.

To facilitate the implementation of this change, P-A-R-F and COE rebates that are still valid and un-used with expiry dates between July and September 29th this year will be extended to September the 30th.

Affected owners will receive a notification from the LTA on the revised expiry date of their PARF/COE rebates within the next 2 weeks.

LTA says motorists can also continue to use their rebates to offset the upfront taxes payable for a new vehicle as is the current practice.

The rebates will also continue to be transferable and be valid for 12 months.

Presently, dealers dun really buy that much worth of papers as they have to wait for someone that comes along to purchase New Cars........(so tat means the paper money will be stuck).........

Re: Cash Rebates for dereg cars

Did the editor at today had some inside information? This comes after a slightly scathing review of the inconsistent policies the LTA has consistently hung on to..

But nonetheless it's good news, of sorts.
 
Re: Cash Rebates for dereg cars

All along the argument was that allowing cash rebates means having to set aside cash for this. Looks like with the erp revision they can now afford this.

I saw the report too and was thinking in my head whether the author was asking for trouble by flaming LTA so openly. Is this all a wayang to show that the govt actually listens to what we have to say?

Good news nonetheless.
