新加坡：一项拟引入汽车拥有证（COE）溢价回扣与附加费的方案在公众咨询中获得多数支持，大多数受访者倾向于采用五档制以区分大众市场车型与豪华车型。
SINGAPORE: A proposed scheme to introduce rebates and surcharges on Certificate Of Entitlement (COE) premiums has received majority support in a public consultation, with most respondents favouring a five-band system to distinguish between mass-market and luxury cars.
交通部长萧美琴周二（11月3日）在国会表示，陆路交通管理局（LTA）在咨询于周一结束后仍在研究各方提交的意见，尚未决定最终修改方案。
Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow said in parliament on Tuesday (Nov 3) that the Land Transport Authority (LTA) was still studying the submissions after the consultation closed on Monday and had not decided on the final changes.
萧美琴说：“大多数受访者表示支持这种方案。大多数人倾向于采用五档制的‘费率回扣制’，以减少悬崖效应。”
"The majority of respondents expressed support for such a scheme. Most people preferred a 'feebate' with five-bands, to reduce cliff effects," said Mr Siow.
数名国会议员（MP）询问了关于汽车拥有证制度拟议变革的问题，包括变革是否会让大众市场车型保持在可负担范围内、是否会影响电动汽车（EV）普及，以及是否会导致廉价车型价格上涨。
Several Members of Parliament (MPs) had asked about proposed changes to the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) system, including whether they would keep mass-market cars within reach, affect electric vehicle (EV) adoption and result in higher prices for cheaper cars.
对此，萧美琴表示，拟议的收费与回扣（即“费率回扣制”）制度旨在恢复“大众市场车型与豪华车型COE溢价之间的永久价格区分”，因为随着电动汽车日益普及，A类与B类COE溢价的差距已缩小。
In response, Mr Siow said that the proposed fee-and-rebate, or "feebate", system was intended to restore a "permanent price distinction in COE premiums between mass-market and luxury cars", after the gap between Category A and B COE premiums narrowed with EVs' growing popularity.
她指出，制造商和车行可通过软件调整电动汽车的功率输出，使同一款车符合不同COE类别的资格。结果是，今年已多次出现A类溢价超过B类溢价的情况。她补充说：“随着电动汽车越来越普及，这一趋势将持续。”
Manufacturers and workshops can adjust the power output of EVs using software, allowing the same car to qualify for different COE categories, he said. As a result, Category A premiums have exceeded Category B premiums on several occasions this year. "This trend will continue as electric vehicles become more popular," he added.
根据陆路交通管理局的提议，现有的A类和B类COE将合并为单一的汽车类别。
Under the LTA's proposal, the existing Category A and B COEs would be merged into a single category for cars.
目前A类和B类主要按发动机排量和功率划分汽车，A类传统上涵盖排量较小、功率较低的车型。
Categories A and B currently divide cars broadly according to engine capacity and power, with Category A traditionally covering smaller and less powerful models.
陆路交通管理局表示，车辆技术的进步，尤其是电动汽车，使得这些标准的效力降低。制造商越来越能够调整车辆规格以符合A类限制，导致更多买家竞争A类车辆拥有证，并使A类与B类的价格差距缩小。
LTA has said advances in vehicle technology, particularly EVs, have made these criteria less effective. Manufacturers have increasingly been able to adjust vehicle specifications to fit within Category A limits, resulting in more buyers competing for Category A COEs and a narrowing price gap with Category B.
为继续区分大众市场车型和高价值车型，陆路交通管理局提议根据车型的公开市场价值（OMV）引入“费返制”。
To continue distinguishing between mass-market and higher-value cars, LTA proposed introducing a feebate system based on a car model's open market value (OMV).
处于较低价值区间的车型将获得车辆拥有证价格回扣，而高价值车型则面临附加费。视乎区间如何划分，最高附加费与最大回扣之间的差额最高可达30,000新元。
A car in a lower-value band would receive a rebate on its COE price, while higher-value models would face a surcharge. Depending on how the bands are structured, the difference between the highest surcharge and largest rebate could be as much as S$30,000.
陆路交通管理局提议采用三区间或五区间制，两种方案的最大回扣和附加费均设为15,000新元。
LTA has proposed either a three-band or five-band system, with the largest rebate and surcharge set at S$15,000 in both options.
该机构表示，目的是更好地区分大众市场车型和高价值车型，同时让车辆拥有证溢价继续由市场力量决定。
The agency said the aim is to better distinguish between mass-market and higher-value cars while allowing COE premiums themselves to continue to be determined by market forces.
陆路交通管理局表示，预计将于年底完成审查，并于2027年上半年公布调查结果和建议。
LTA has said it expects to complete its review by the end of the year and publish its findings and recommendations in the first half of 2027.
五区间制获青睐 早前曾提议“费返制”的国会议员谢炳辉（人民行动党-荷兰-武吉知马集选区）询问，回扣和附加费能否设定为车辆拥有证价格的百分比，而非固定金额。
FIVE BANDS PREFERRED MP Edward Chia Bing Hui (PAP-Holland-Bukit Timah), who had earlier proposed the feebate system, asked whether the rebate and surcharge could be set as a percentage of the COE price instead of as fixed amounts.
萧先生表示，这能进一步减少区间间的“悬崖效应”，但也意味着买家在车辆拥有证投标开始前，无法知晓确切的回扣或附加费金额。
Mr Siow said this could reduce the "cliff effects" between bands further, but would also mean buyers would not know the exact rebate or surcharge before the COE bidding exercise begins.
陆路交通管理局还将研究是否进一步降低个人的车辆拥有证投标费，以及是否应要求车行公布不含车辆拥有证的车价。
LTA will also study whether to further reduce COE bidding fees for individuals and whether motor dealers should be required to publish car prices without COE.
萧先生表示，部分买家仍倾向由车行代为投标车辆拥有证，以享受一站式服务，政府不应让这变得更困难。“但我们可以让个人买家更容易自行竞标COE，”他说。
Some buyers still prefer dealers to bid for COEs on their behalf as a one-stop service, Mr Siow said, adding that the government should not make this more difficult. "But we can make it easier for individual buyers to bid for COEs on their own," he said.
萧先生表示，陆路交通管理局（LTA）仍在审议在拟议的“费率返还制”下如何对待出租车。
LTA is also still reviewing how taxis would be treated under the proposed feebate system, Mr Siow said.
电动车支持将保持独立 国会议员朱佩玲（人民行动党-蔡厝港）询问拟议制度将如何避免打击高性能电动车的采用——这类车辆的公开市场价值（OMV）可能较高，并确保大众市场买家不会被豪华车买家挤出。
EV SUPPORT TO REMAIN SEPARATE MP Choo Pei Ling (PAP-Chua Chu Kang) asked how the proposed system would avoid discouraging the adoption of high-performance EVs, which can have higher OMVs, and ensure mass-market buyers were not crowded out by luxury car buyers.
萧先生表示，曾提议为电动车设立单独的费率返还结构，但这会使制度过于复杂。
Mr Siow said a separate feebate structure for EVs had been proposed, but this would make the system too complicated.
他说，政府将继续通过车辆排放计划（VES）而非COE政策，单独支持电动车采用。
The government will instead continue to support EV adoption separately through the Vehicle Emissions Scheme rather than through COE policies, he said.
对家庭的支持 国会议员陈佩玲（人民行动党-麦波申）询问拟议的费率返还制是否会增加对低价值车辆的需求，并无意中推高大众市场车型的价格。她还询问还能做些什么来帮助需要用车的大家庭。
SUPPORT FOR FAMILIES MP Tin Pei Ling (PAP-MacPherson) asked whether the proposed feebate could increase demand for lower-value vehicles and inadvertently push up prices of mass-market cars. She also asked what more could be done to help large families that need a car.
萧先生表示，他认识到较大家庭，特别是有年幼孩子的家庭，可能会发现全家一起乘坐公共交通工具出行有困难。
Mr Siow said he recognised that larger families, particularly those with young children, may find it difficult to travel together on public transport.
但他表示，任何支持措施也必须考虑到不打算买车、而是依赖公共交通、出租车、网约车或共享汽车服务的家庭。政府正在研究交通补助金的选项，稍后将提供更多细节。
But any support would also have to consider families that do not intend to buy a car and instead rely on public transport, taxis, private-hire cars or car-sharing services, he said. The government is studying the option of a transport grant, with more details to be provided later.
