GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Preferential Additional Registration Fee (PARF)
The PARF rebate is computed based on the age of the car at de-registration . The age of the car is computed from the date of its registration in Singapore or its original registration in a foreign country, whichever is earlier. Imported used car registered in Singapore before 1 September 2007 is not eligible for PARF rebate.

Breakdown of the PARF benefit for PARF-eligible cars can be found in ONE.MOTORING portal

Open Market Value (OMV) is assessed and determined by Singapore Customs, and includes the purchase price of goods (in our context, a vehicle), freight, insurance and all other charges related to the sale and delivery of the vehicle to Singapore. The LTA Website has a calculator to compute OMV.
Registration Fee
