Commercial vehicles get go-ahead for further 5-year COE renewal

This is effective from 25 February.

According to an LTA release, as announced by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance during the Budget Statement 2013 and the Minister for Transport during the 2013 Committee of Supply debate, owners of Category ‘C’ (CAT C) vehicles who choose to renew their Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) for five years will be allowed further 5-year COE renewals.

The changes are effective from 25 February 2013.

The relaxation of the five-year COE renewal will apply to all CAT C vehicles such as goods vehicles, goods-cum-passenger vehicles and buses. This will help businesses ease their cash flow and provide more business flexibility.

CAT C vehicle owners who opt for the 5-year COE renewal will continue on subsequent 5-year renewals, subject to the vehicle’s statutory lifespan.

CAT C vehicles which are already on a 5-year renewed COE expiring on or after 25 February 2013 can also qualify for further 5-year renewals.

Such owners with their 5-year COE expiring between 25 February 2013 and 13 March 2013 who wish to continue using their vehicles are advised to ensure that their COE and Road Tax are renewed by 19 March 2013.

They can renew their vehicle’s COE by submitting the ‘Application to Renew a COE’ form and payment to LTA at the Vehicle and Transit Licensing Customer Service Centre located at 10 Sin Ming Drive, Singapore 575701, by 4pm, 19 March 2013.

Otherwise, they must dispose of the vehicle and submit disposal documents to LTA before 12 noon, 13 April 2013.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
