Lower COE Premiums Incoming? More COE Quotas to Be Made Available From August to October 2023!
The LTA has announced that COE quotas for the next quarter (August to October) will be 11,019. This is a 5.6% increase over the previous quarter (May to July).
The increase comes from the continued redistribution of the five-year COEs that are due to expire in the next projected supply peak. For this round, all 1,025 such COEs are designated for passenger cars.
Here’s a breakdown of the COE supply by category:

- 25% of the replacement COEs from vehicles deregistered in the twelve-month period from July 2022 to June 2023;
- Provision for 0.25% per annum growth for Category C based on the Category C vehicle population as at 31 December 2022; and
- Adjustments for changes in the taxi population, expired COEs, Early Turnover Scheme for commercial vehicles and redistribution from guaranteed deregistrations for Category A and Category B.
