You may apply for GIRO here and get an instant approval if you are renewing road tax using a DBS, POSB or OCBC bank account. Thereafter, you may link your vehicles to your GIRO account here.
Otherwise, please complete and mail the GIRO application form (PDF,201kb) to LTA, 10 Sin Ming Drive, Singapore 575701. It takes about 1 month to process your GIRO application. In the meantime, if your road tax is due soon and you have just submitted your GIRO application form by mail, please renew your road tax by other means. When your GIRO application is approved, you will receive a notification from LTA, and your future road tax renewals will be made via GIRO.
GIRO payment schedule and prerequisites
You will receive a GIRO payment schedule from LTA about 1 month before your road tax expires.
The schedule will state the deadline to meet the renewal prerequisites and your road tax deduction date. You must meet all the renewal prerequisites by the deadline. Otherwise, the GIRO deduction will not take place and you must renew your road tax promptly by other methods.
If the GIRO deduction date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the deduction from your bank account will take place one working day earlier. Do ensure that there are sufficient funds in your GIRO bank account for a successful deduction.
Please refer to the GIRO payment timeline and actions below:
