since najib announce no sales tax for Mobile Phone

-will the price drop?
-will gap between Ori and AP will go smaller?
-How long it will take to effect market price?

Since my phone is start showing me issue better aim new phone now hope it effect iphone price also lol

better wait for next year...

iphone sales price already no tax..

won't make 1 sen of difference

logically, cheaper price won't be until they clear off their current stocks.
'cos they already paid x amount, takkan wanna sell at a lost?

you know the price differrent of original set and ap set? original set much expensive because of tax.

so expect the original set will became like ap set price after this.

well estimated sales tax is about 10%

Example N8 is 1690 current price -10% = RM 1521

Hmm 1xx drop i bet the gap go smaller only no same price

handphone with Internet application already no tax,

It means it will affect on handphone with price tag under 600 hundred,

Really O.o dam no good news for smartphone than !@#$%^&*

kempunan n8

Poor people please use 3310.

ya i am aiming n8 also ==

Though can get cheaper == hai~~~~

Nokia phone got tax or not price drop like anvil.

Can someone input on import tax for phones? Is it the same one gomen is exempting on all mobile phones? Import tax = sales tax?

Apparently all this while, smartphone no sales tax. But stories r ppl being buying smartphone from ebay, import them in and kena tax (10%) & AP rm200.

Whatever it is, we consumer, either been screw by gomen or seller or both.

Lol. I tot phone in malaysia is really cheap2 already compared to uk.

phone like 3310 dro price lar. coz oni non-smart phone affected. smarthpones already 0 tax.

Sales tax and import tax are 2 different thing.

Like computer part if you buy from outside malaysia you will not charge import tax but may be will charge you sales tax depend on luck.

Ya still curious on sales tax cause understand mostly phone price is included sales tax and hope really have price drop.

big phail for bijan

No, handpon always cainis sell and cainis always want money, what they save they keep and say petrol increase, you dun laik you get lost with lansi face and blond beng hair.

anyways none of them paying any tax also now

Not much difference...

Sales tax usually 5% oni... That one is still in place... Its the import duty that government has removed... At max, you'll see a reduction of RM 10 - RM 20... Manufacturers will keep the price the same to increase their profits...
