Singapore regulations & registration
PARF (Preferential Additional Registration Fee)
PARF rebate is the partial refund of the Additional Registration Fee paid when a Singapore vehicle is deregistered before age 10, incentivising responsible ownership and preservation.
PARF rebate is tiered by vehicle age at deregistration: 75% of ARF if deregistered between 4–5 years old, declining each year, with no rebate after 10 years.
The rebate makes "PARF cars" (≤10 years old at sale) more valuable in the used market. Owners often time vehicle sales to maximise PARF return.
Maintained cars with documented quality tinting, PPF and detailing command stronger residuals in the PARF resale market. Protection investment pays back at deregistration.
