[SINGAPORE] The cut in Preferential Additional Registration Fee (Parf) rebates marks one of the most consequential policy shifts for Singapore’s car market in years.

The full impact is unlikely to be immediate. As the changes apply to cars registered from Friday (Feb 20) onwards, the effects will take time to filter through the market.
