Vehicle quota premiums raised S$8.66 billion ($6.9 billion) in the year ending March 2026, about 31% more than the government initially estimated a year ago. When combined with motor vehicle taxes, it brings the total to S$11.05 billion — an amount greater than the annual gross domestic product of Fiji.
