Does this counts?

Hi guys,

I'm almost certain to get this Mazda 2. Still considering though..But I have a good question for you guys.

What are the impacts of the GST for new car price like this Mazda 2? Will it go up? Will it go down? Not only car price, how about insurance and bank interest rate for hire purchase?

For car price, a little reading shows that it will go down since current tax SST is 10% and GST only 6%..but in reality [read: Honda statement] said will go down about 1-2% only. I can't trust SA statement since they only looking for sales.

What worry me most is the interest rate..any rumour or statement from banks or Bank Negara?

I'm not desperately need the car now. I can wait. But the question will it worth? If the impact is severe (price up), I will certainly book my car now. I'm looking at this from a rationale perspective.

That's why I said it won't have simple calculation 10-6=4. The impact will still be there.

Sun Daily
The Star

2 news sources said different thing.

SST: final car price + 10% tax
GST: final car price + 6% tax

But final car price for both calculation will be different. GST final price will be higher due to higher supply chain price.

On the supply chain, it will be minimum impact due to CBU model? Because parts' supply chain does not being calculated into the gst calculation, am I right? The only thing gst taxable along the supply chain in my opinion is the logistic cost only..

How does GST affect the computation for car pricing (i.e: OMV)?

Ans:

Local cars
Open market value + excise duty + GST (6%)

Imported cars
Transaction value + import duty + excise duty + GST (6%)

----------

CKD cars subjected to GST along the part's supply chain = open market value
CBU cars does not, only final price once the car leaves the factory = transaction value

----------

Sorry for hijacking this thread for GST issue..LOL. but i guess it is related, isn't it?

What kind of coating and detailing you did to your new ride? how about price?

For paint protection, 2k++ is too expensive for me..is there any much cheaper alternative or any advice for new car like this?
