For businesses that rely on commercial vehicles, COE renewal is a critical operational and financial decision. This guide covers everything you need to know about renewing COEs for lorries, vans, pickup trucks, and buses.
Commercial Vehicle COE Categories
Commercial vehicles fall under two COE categories:
- Category C: Goods vehicles (lorries, vans, pickup trucks) and buses
- Category D: Motorcycles (including delivery motorcycles)
Current Category C COE Prices
Category C COE prices are currently around S$83,501 (PQP). While lower than passenger car categories, this still represents a significant cost for businesses with multiple vehicles.
Business Considerations for COE Renewal
Fleet Management
For businesses with multiple commercial vehicles, staggering COE renewals can help manage cash flow. Consider:
- Renewing vehicles in batches to spread the financial impact
- Prioritising renewal for vehicles in best condition
- Retiring older, less efficient vehicles instead of renewing
Tax Deductibility
COE renewal costs for commercial vehicles used in business operations may be tax-deductible. Consult your tax advisor for specific advice.
Vehicle Inspection
Before renewing, have your commercial vehicles thoroughly inspected. Consider:
- Engine condition and remaining useful life
- Maintenance history and upcoming major repairs
- Fuel efficiency compared to newer models
- Compliance with emission standards
