Whatever ideas anyone has, none will be taken up UNLESS it promises increased revenue to the coffers. By cutting COE quota every quarter with unrelenting demand especially from taxis and PHVs, the revenue is literally begging to enter the coffers. Short and sweet. High demand + low supply = high revenue Is the above statement clear enough? The intention of COE is always to control the population of the cars. If the main intention is for revenue, selling more COEs instead of controlling the number of COEs will generate more revenue. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesc Hypersonic August 2, 2022 Share August 2, 2022 The best way to increase revenue is to decrease supply. Then people will have to pay more. People buy cars when COE was 30k and also buy cars at 100k Which one gets more revenue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMV 20k, pay another 30k after buying to activate electric mirrors, climate control, electric seats, headlights....

For example, selling 500 COEs at $100K a piece ($50m) compared to selling 2,000 COEs at $60K a piece ($120m). Not to forget more cars on the road, more ERPs to be collected, fuel duties etc. That's if the intention is really just to generate revenue. Also what's stopping the Govt to issue more COEs and at the same time all COEs have a reserved price of at least $80K? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic August 3, 2022 Share August 3, 2022 Bidding sure high price. When I was a kid ever attended 7th month dinner before they can bid so much for a piece of charcoal.😅 We see Art piece auction, the bid price also goes way beyond the starting price. But when go supermarket buy charcoal for BBQ the price is fix 🤣 Then I realised the red ribbons must have been the expensive stuff 😅. So many people fighting to have it. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yishunite Turbocharged August 3, 2022 Share August 3, 2022 Going round and round now lol Basic thing is COE is an ownership tax, not usage tax. But despite quota frozen for many years now the usage has skyrocketed thanks to PHV and rentals. Meanwhile those who use their car less (for private purpose) have to pay the same premium as a commercial user of the car who contributes 90% of the congestion on the road. So you wanna get serious about tackling congestion need to focus tax around usage. Satellite ERP? Maybe but pls not with 20th century tech. For me this usage question is the most important reason why car rental and PHV need to split out from general COE quota. They broke the system 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like we all know how much our ministers are paid (at least ball park millions) How many do we see drive bentley/RR/porsche? How many flash AP/PP whatever P on their wrist? How many of the female ministers carry herpes in public eyes? In order to continue the revenue stream, the show must go on and not kill the golden goose. Whatever car population control and traffic jam solutions are just a means to and end. So, if they want my money to fund the govt coffers, just be upfront about it and just tax me for my income one time jialat jialat each year and leave me alone for the rest of the year. That is my point of view. We can agree to disagree on that. Edited August 3, 2022 by Vratenza 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
