Road Tax Introduction

The road tax is a tax paid by vehicle owners to use public roads. The tax amount varies depending on the vehicle type, vehicle specifications, vehicle registration location, type of ownership, and vehicle purpose. In Malaysia, the road tax is paid on an annual basis.

Vehicles with a valid road tax are required to have them displayed. For cars and trucks, the road tax sticker is displayed on the bottom right corner of the windscreen. The vehicle registration number, road tax price, and road tax expiry date are clearly written on the road tax sticker.

The road tax sticker is only meant for a one-time use. If removed or tampered with, the road tax sticker will tear apart, rendering it invalid.

Road Tax Calculation in Malaysia

In Malaysia, the road tax value is determined by several factors. Namely vehicle type, vehicle specifications, vehicle registration location, type of ownership, and vehicle purpose.

Road users in West Malaysia and East Malaysia are taxed at a different rate. The road tax in East Malaysia is lower due to the conditions of the road and its supporting infrastructures.

In both East and West Malaysia, the road tax increases as the engine displacement of the car increases. The road tax calculation is based on engine capacity.

This form of road tax calculation has encouraged manufacturers to sell cars with smaller displacement engines that are usually turbocharged or assisted by a hybrid system. Most cars in Malaysia have less than 2.0-litre engine displacement.

At minimum, the road tax for an engine-driven car is RM20 for cars with engine displacements of 1,000 cc and below. To calculate the road tax of a vehicle, the base rate and progressive rate will have to be combined.

The progressive rate increases as the engine displacement increases. Cars that exceed 3.0 litres in West Malaysia are taxed RM4/cc for every cubic centimetre that exceeds the 3,000-cc mark.

The type of vehicle ownership will also affect the road tax rate. A vehicle can be either private-owned or company-owned.

The road tax for electric vehicles follow a different method of calculation that is based on the maximum power output of the vehicle.

Road tax payment schedule

The time of payment for the road tax depends on the date of registration of the vehicle. A car that is registered on 17 December will have its road tax expired by 16 December in the following year. The road tax is usually renewed together with the vehicle’s insurance.

How to renew Road tax?

The road tax renewal can be cone online via MyEG. The road tax will need to be renewed together with the car’s insurance.

What happens if road tax is not paid?

Without a road tax, the vehicle is not legally allowed to be driven on public roads. If a vehicle’s road tax has not been renewed for more than 36 months, a PUSPAKOM inspection will be required to renew it later on.
