FY2026 revenue seen up to $134.75b on higher vehicle collections

Higher COE quotas are expected to lift vehicle quota premiums to $9.42b.

Singapore’s operating revenue is projected to rise to $134.75b in FY2026, with part of the increase coming from higher vehicle-related collections.

Vehicle quota premiums are expected to grow by 8.8% to $9.42b, on the back of an expected increase in certificate of entitlement (COE) quotas, according to a Ministry of Finance report.

Meanwhile, motor vehicle taxes are estimated to increase 17.2% to $2.80b, due to a higher COE quota and the cessation of the Electric Vehicle Early Adoption Incentive rebate from 1 January 2027.

In a related move, Singapore has halved the preferential additional registration fee rebate to $30,000 from $60,000 for cars de-registered before 10 years, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in his Budget 2026 speech.

Operating revenue is projected to rise 3% from the revised FY2025 figure of $130.86b, mainly due to higher collections from corporate income tax, personal income tax and goods and services tax.

“The increase is partially offset by lower collections expected from Other Taxes (Land Betterment Charge and Annual Tonnage Tax),” the report added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
