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
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
The Registration Fee (RF) is one of the fees you will have to pay during vehicle registration. Currently, the RF is fixed at $140.
