Hi. Wonder if any of you have update from MOF with regards to the upcoming GST on CKD car for MM2H or REP holders? Thx.

Just got this email.

NOTICE ON GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST) RELATED TO THE CAR TAX EXEMPTION UNDER THE RETURNING EXPERT PROGRAMME

Following the introduction of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on 1 April 2015, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) have confirmed that the GST will be charged on the tax exempted car of all successful applicants under the Returning Expert Programme (REP) approved after 1 April 2015. This 6% GST is separate from the exempted RM150,000 taxes and duties related to the purchase or import of the car.

However, successful REP applicants whose applications were approved before 1 April 2015 are exempted from GST. This exemption is valid for a period of up to two years from the date of the approval letter issued by TalentCorp.

Effective immediately, successful REP applicants approved after 1 April 2015 will have to apply for the tax exemption of their car online at http://smpc.treasury.gov.my.

Meanwhile, successful REP applicants approved before 1 April 2015 will have to manually apply for the tax exemption on their car to MoF's Bahagian Cukai.

For further information/clarification, kindly contact us at: +603 8892 3800 from 9am-6pm (Mondays to Fridays) or e-mail: rep@talentcorp.com.my

Thank You.
