Fiat road tax in Malaysia refers to the annual or semi-annual fee imposed by the Road Transport Department Malaysia (JPJ) for legally operating a Fiat vehicle on public roads. The cost depends on engine capacity, vehicle type, ownership status, and location.

How Much Is Fiat Road Tax in Malaysia?
Fiat road tax costs vary based on engine capacity and vehicle classification. For saloon cars (sedan, hatchback, coupe, wagon, convertible) under individual ownership in Peninsular Malaysia, the rates are structured as follows
- Below 1,000cc – RM20 (6 months), RM40 (12 months)
- 1,001cc to 1,200cc – RM55 (6 months), RM110 (12 months)
- 1,201cc to 1,400cc – RM90 (6 months), RM180 (12 months)
- 1,401cc to 1,600cc – RM120 (6 months), RM240 (12 months)
- 1,601cc to 1,800cc – RM165 (6 months), RM330 (12 months)
- 1,801cc to 2,000cc – RM220 (6 months), RM440 (12 months)
For non-saloon vehicles (SUV, MPV, pickup, commercial), the rates are higher. A Fiat 500X (1.4L turbo) under individual ownership would incur RM330 annually in Peninsular Malaysia.
How Does Location Affect Fiat Road Tax?
Road tax rates differ between Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi/Pangkor, and East Malaysia (Sabah/Sarawak/Labuan). Vehicles registered in Labuan, Langkawi, or Pangkor enjoy a flat rate of RM20 per year for engines below 1,000cc. In Sabah and Sarawak, road tax is generally 20-30% lower than Peninsular Malaysia.
What Is the Road Tax for Company-Owned Fiat Vehicles?
Company-owned Fiat saloon cars face higher road tax rates compared to privately owned vehicles. For example, a Fiat Tipo 1.4L (1,368cc) registered under a company in Peninsular Malaysia would cost RM360 annually, whereas private ownership is RM180.
How Does Vehicle Type Influence Fiat Road Tax?
Non-saloon Fiats (SUVs, MPVs, commercial vehicles) have higher road tax rates. A Fiat Doblo (1.6L) classified as a commercial vehicle would incur RM480 per year in Peninsular Malaysia, while a private saloon car with the same engine capacity costs RM240.
What Is the Cost of Fiat Insurance in Malaysia?
Fiat insurance premiums depend on model, age, coverage type, and no-claim discount (NCD). Comprehensive insurance for a Fiat 500 (1.2L) may range from RM1,500 to RM3,000 annually, while a Fiat Tipo (1.4L) could cost RM2,000 to RM4,000 per year. Third-party fire and theft (TPFT) coverage is cheaper but offers limited protection.
Insurance renewal requires a valid cover note before road tax renewal. Policies from insurers like Etiqa, Allianz, or Tune Protect must align with JPJ regulations. Older Fiat models may face higher premiums due to parts availability.
How to Renew Fiat Road Tax in Malaysia?
Road tax renewal is mandatory before expiry and requires valid insurance. Owners can renew via JPJ offices, MyEG, or Pos Malaysia. Online platforms like MySikap allow digital renewal with courier delivery for an additional fee (RM6 to RM10). Temporary road tax slips are valid for 30 days if delays occur.
What Are the Penalties for Late Fiat Road Tax Renewal?
Driving with expired road tax incurs a RM150 fine under the Road Transport Act 1987. Enforcement includes JPJ roadblocks and automated number plate recognition (ANPR) systems. Outstanding summonses must be settled before renewal.
Do Electric Fiat Models Have Different Road Tax Rates?
Electric Fiats (e.g., Fiat 500e) are exempt from road tax until 2025 under Malaysian EV incentives. Post-2025, rates may follow a new JPJ structure based on power output (kW) instead of engine capacity.
