Description

Official description

* Figures include weekend/off peak cars and tax exempted vehicles. * Prior to Aug 2012, taxi operators can bid for a new COE or pay Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) to register a taxi under Category A. The latter is only in the case of a new taxi that replaces a deregistered one within 6 months. From 6 Aug 2012 onwards, all taxis pay for COEs based on the PQP of Category A. *Includes vehicles de-registered and eventually placed under the Early Turnover Scheme (ETS). Between 24 Apr 2013 and 30 Apr 2016, vehicle owners can de-register their existing diesel-propelled Category C vehicles that were registered before 1 Jan 2001 and register a replacement vehicle within 1 month of de-registration by paying a discounted Prevailing Quota Premium (PQP) under the ETS. From 1 Aug 2015, the ETS was extended to existing diesel-propelled Category C vehicles that were registered between 1 Jan 2001 and 30 Sep 2006 and will be de-registered between 1 Aug 2015 and 31 Jul 2017. * Vehicles exempted from the VQS include scheduled and school buses, emergency vehicles, engineering plants primarily for off-the-road use, diplomatic vehicles and vehicles under the Disabled Person Scheme. * Cars registered with COEs obtained from the Feb 2014 1st bidding exercise onwards, - Category A: Cars up to 1600cc and 97kW. - Category B: Cars above 1600cc or 97kW. * Cars registered with COEs obtained before Feb 2014 bidding exercises, - Category A: Cars up to 1600cc. - Category B: Cars above 1600cc." * Figures may subject to changes as vehicle owners are given one month grace to revalidate their COEs upon deregistration.
