Guide To Renew Company Car Roadtax

Introduction

Renewing roadtax for a company car is not necessarily complicated, but the process can differ from a privately owned vehicle.

If the vehicle is registered under a company, make sure you have the required vehicle and insurance information before starting the renewal.

Depending on the vehicle and renewal method, you may be able to manage the process online. BJAK also offers online insurance and roadtax renewal for eligible vehicles.

1. Required Documents for Company Car Roadtax Renewal

Before renewing roadtax, prepare the relevant vehicle and insurance information.

These may include:

• Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC) or vehicle registration details
• Valid motor insurance or takaful covering the vehicle
• Company authorisation letter or supporting documents, if someone is handling the renewal on behalf of the company

The exact documents required can vary depending on the vehicle, ownership type and renewal channel.

Tip: Make sure the vehicle’s insurance is active before proceeding with roadtax renewal. Valid motor insurance is required before roadtax can be renewed.

2. How to Renew Company Car Roadtax

The general process is:

1. Check or renew the vehicle’s insurance and make sure the coverage is active.
2. Choose a suitable roadtax renewal channel, such as BJAK or an applicable JPJ channel.
3. Enter the vehicle registration number and required details.
4. Check that the vehicle and ownership information is correct.
5. Make the required payment.
6. Complete the roadtax renewal according to the available process for your vehicle.

If you use BJAK’s roadtax service, insurance must be active before the roadtax renewal can be processed. BJAK can process the insurance first and then submit the roadtax renewal for JPJ processing where the service is available.

The exact process can vary for company-owned or commercial vehicles, so check the applicable requirements before renewing.

3. Physical or Digital Roadtax for Company Vehicles

Roadtax is now digital for eligible private vehicles and can be viewed through MyJPJ.

However, company-owned and commercial vehicles may have different requirements. BJAK’s current roadtax information notes that digital roadtax currently applies to private vehicle owners, while commercial or company-owned vehicles may still require traditional documentation.

Before renewing a company vehicle’s roadtax, check the latest JPJ requirements for that vehicle.

If your vehicle is eligible for digital roadtax, you can view the e-LKM through MyJPJ after the renewal has been processed.

4. For Companies with Multiple Vehicles

If your company manages several cars, vans or other vehicles, keeping track of each renewal date can make the process easier.

You can:

• Keep a list of each vehicle’s insurance and roadtax expiry dates.
• Renew insurance before the existing coverage expires.
• Keep copies of insurance and roadtax records.
• Arrange renewals early to avoid last-minute issues.
• Keep vehicle and company documents organised.

For businesses with multiple vehicles, a simple renewal schedule can also make record-keeping easier.

Conclusion

Renewing company car roadtax does not have to be complicated.

Before starting the renewal, make sure the vehicle has valid motor insurance or takaful and that you have the relevant vehicle and company information.

For eligible vehicles, you can manage insurance and roadtax renewal online through BJAK. However, company-owned or commercial vehicles may have different requirements, so check the applicable JPJ process before renewing.
