Driving a vehicle without valid road tax is a serious offence in Singapore. Under the Road Traffic Act, offenders can face a fine of up to S$2,000. Additionally, a vehicle without valid road tax does not have valid insurance coverage, exposing the owner to significant liability risks.
Prerequisites for Renewal
- Valid Motor Insurance: Ensure your insurance covers the entire period of the new road tax.
- Vehicle Inspection: Vehicles older than 3 years (cars) or 10 years (motorcycles) typically require a passing certificate from authorized inspection centres (STA/VICOM).
- Outstanding Fines: All parking and traffic fines must be cleared before renewal is permitted.
