E-hailing road tax can now be renewed for < 6 months

E-hailing road tax can now be renewed for < 6 months

There have been e-hailing vehicle owners facing difficulties renewing road tax if their vehicle permits (eVP) were expiring in under six months, because only six- and 12-month road tax renewals were allowed. Beginning today, e-hailing vehicle owners can renew their road taxes for shorter periods of between one and five months, Bernama reports.

“This means that all e-hailing service vehicles that are legally registered will be allowed to renew their road taxes for a period shorter than six or 12 months. However, such road tax renewals remain subject to the lowest remaining validity period of the eVP, the motor vehicle inspection centre (PPKM) report and the validity of the insurance coverage,” the transport ministry said in a statement yesterday, adding that the minimum and maximum validity periods are now one and 12 months respectively.

“E-hailing vehicle owners are given the flexibility to renew their road taxes for a period of between one and five months, where the cumulative rate will not exceed the six-month rate. The rates for six and 12 months are unchanged. This facility only applies as long as the vehicle remains legally registered as an e-hailing vehicle,” said the statement.
