biggrin.gif Hello guys,

I would like to ask you guys about the tax regarding on IT products. For example, do I need to pay for tax for a laptop if I buy it from other countries and ship it to Malaysia?  Or just have to pay for the shipping fee.  icon_question.gif

if u buy and personally bring it over,
it should not be taxed
however, if you shipping,
there will be problem,
custom might not let you pass
but this i cannot confirm whether is true or not

i honestly cannot be sure about this
u may want to ask at sager thread as i believe most of them purchase their laptop online from murco asia
beware if you make the purchase from Ebay, u need to bear the custom fee if there is any...
from my experience, purchase item from ebay is really depends on luck one
apart from authenticity and quality, u dunno if the custom will tear out and check what is inside..

I heard some fella HP HDX 16 got seized at customs for not paying tax..

He returned the unit back to the seller and request seller mark it as "RMA Unit" / "Repaired Unit" ..

I even emailed Xoticpc before.. They say custom taxation we have to bear ourself..

same thing like every item i bought was stamped "gift" on the envelop...
