SINGAPORE: The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will issue road tax refunds of S$1.4 million (US$1.08 million) in total to owners of various commercial vehicles due to a “discrepancy” between the correct tax rates and the actual rates charged.
Around 1,700 owners of diesel and diesel-hybrid goods-cum-passengers vehicles will receive the refunds for road tax collected between Aug 1, 2022 and Nov 30, 2025, LTA said on Friday (Nov 28).
“This refund exercise is being conducted to address a discrepancy between the road tax rates collected and those stipulated in the relevant legislation during the specified period,” it added.
The biannual road tax rates for the vehicles during that period were S$372 for those with maximum laden weight (MLW) not exceeding 3.5 metric tonnes, and S$487 for those with MLW exceeding 3.5 metric tonnes.
