ETS Scheme: How much time do I have to replace my existing vehicle after I have deregistered it and how long does the application of the replacement vehicle take?
To be eligible for the scheme, the replacement vehicle must be registered within one monthfrom the date the existing vehicle is deregistered. For example, if the existing vehicle is deregistered on 31 Oct 2017, you would need to register the replacement vehicle by 30 Nov 2017.
The deregistered vehicle must also be properly disposed of (i.e. scrapped or exported and COE rebate, if any, successfully granted) before the replacement vehicle can be registered.
