Regulation 9AB

Subject to rule 8, any person who wishes to register a new or secondhand electric car or a new electric taxi between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2026 (both dates inclusive) may apply to the Registrar for a rebate on the fee payable under rule 7(1)(a) in respect of that vehicle.

Subject to paragraphs (6) and (7), the amount of the rebate which the Registrar may grant upon an application under paragraph (1) is the lower of the following:

In the case of a secondhand electric car, any rebate granted under paragraph (2) must not be used to offset the sum of $10,000 payable under rule 7(1A) at the time of its first registration in Singapore.

In granting an application under paragraph (1), the Registrar may impose such conditions as the Registrar thinks fit.

The Registrar must not grant an application under paragraph (1) unless the Registrar is satisfied that the new or secondhand electric car or new electric taxi was originally constructed, by a manufacturer approved by the Registrar, to use electricity exclusively.

Where the amount of fee payable under rule 7(1)(a) (less any rebate granted under rule 10(2)), is less than $5,000 after the rebate under paragraph (2) is granted, the minimum amount of fee payable under rule 7(1)(a) (less any rebate granted under rule 10(2)) is $5,000.

Any excess amount of rebate allowable under paragraph (2) that reduces the fee payable under rule 7(1)(a) (less any rebate granted under rule 10(2)) to less than $5,000, is forfeited.

Paragraphs (6) and (7) do not apply to a new or secondhand electric car or a new electric taxi registered between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2026 (both dates inclusive).

In the case of a vehicle mentioned in paragraph (8), where the amount of the rebate allowable under paragraph (2) exceeds the amount of fee payable under rule 7(1)(a) (less any rebate granted under rule 10(2)), the excess amount of the rebate under paragraph (2) is forfeited.
