Dear BeastX,

How much is the tax for a 2005 BMW 320i which cost £8k?

You'll need to know the retail price in 2005...

Retail going for £24,465

Lets say you exceed 48 months (less than 54 months).. 58% off FOB value.

A bigger cut in taxes, if your car in more than 60 months (5 years)

You're looking at about £14,416 in taxes... or RM83.3k (before appeal).. with the current tax rate, will be revised this month and unknown when it will be implemented.

That is quite a lot actually.

tax rate will be revised? mmmmph...any ref.?

might as well save money and buy car back in Malaysia

hi, i want to ask, if i go oversea and study and bought a car at there and use it for 2 year, then after i finished my studies there i want to bring back my car to Malaysia.

Assume the car price is RM195k (55k USD).

What would be the final price after i bring back the car to Malaysia??

depends on cc.. but you may pay 1x to 1.5x the price (55kUSD)... unless its an electric car/hybrid...

Ok so here is the situation...

I am in Sydney and will be going back to Malaysia to work for a few years and my company is paying for my relocation costs. I want to ship my 2002 Civic back since I have only clocked up 40K on it and I bought it brand new in Sept 2002 (just over 7 years now).

I have a few questions:

a) Can I apply for the AP in Australia or do I have to apply in Malaysia?
b) Where is the easiest place to get the AP form/JK form?
c) How long to apply for AP because I'm coming back in 4 weeks.
d) If I have to apply in Malaysia then can I send all my documents to someone in Malaysia to help me do it or do I need to apply in person? (do they need originals like passport etc or can I send certified copy via emails?
e) My driving license has expired - do I need to renew it first before doing this process?
f) Alternatively how about I send the car back to Malaysia first then only apply for AP???
g) Anybody got a sample letter to MITI that I can use for my application for AP?
h) Can somebody other than me clear everything in Malaysia (since I might have be travelling around for work) when the car arrives (do I need to be there?)
i) Is the discounts quite easy to get?
j) I'm assuming that the tax is going to be probably under RM15K - does that sound right? I'm assuming the 2002 Honda is around RM100K?

Sorry about the many questions but I tried asking MATRADE here (they dont know anything) and I have been trying to call MITI AP division (no reply)

Thanks!

i'm waiting for the same answer to this question..

btw.. u might want to look at this ---> tax calc

just quick answer, open houses waiting for me...

a. apply in malaysia, need to have boarding pass, apply within 3 months after touch down
b. i bought it in percetakan nasional berhad, cheapest u could get from production line =p
c. 10 working days..mine took longer, thus plan well
d. u can do it yourself and its cheaper..or ask someone to do it which is likely "show me the money!!!"...send all the verified docs to miti level 2..
e. shoot..thats dangerous bro, renew it asap..it requires full licence to apply ap
f. hmmm..that probably have to do alot with port parking charges since applying ap and dealing with kastam are time consuming
g. you have to ask miti lady to email it to you
h. you may ask agents to do it but there goes the moneyyy..
i. hmm depends...but you have to meet the pengarah selangor in person and try to look honest and humble..remember..honesty is the bes policy
j. rm15k? dream on..let say you will be back by 2011..therefore 2011-2002=9 years...good choice since it is more than 6 years..however pls refer tax calculator and beastx explanation..roughly i would estimate rm40k =p (can be bothered..open houses are waiting for me)

hope that helps you..cheers

Thanks for the reply - too much of a hassle. I'll buy something else when I get back.

yeah, if i were working and have to deal all those things, i would say the same as you, fair enough..just get something new back in msia, you got the money anyway =p (im pretty sure working overseas would reward you huge pile of money, enough for a new caldina =p)

I would say 20 to 25k would be valid for 7 to 8 years old civic... you may get it down to 15k through appeal...

You can apply while the car is in transit.. (Assuming it would take 3 to 4 weeks to reach malaysia).

Yen and AUD being high now is not favourable... as a price guide in 2007 till mid 2008 a basic civic costs only RM60 to 65k... Civic R-type.. about RM85 to 90k...

got a quick question here...

If I want to bring a vehicle back, do I need to have a full driving license? Is it possible if I only have a P license?

last time ap would be granted only with full licence, but now i just checked the website and it says:
"Applicant must has a valid driving license. A learner/temporary driving license is not acceptable."

so you'd better off call miti for details

assumed it's a 2.6ltr vehicles?? wow... 55k USD x1.5 is hellalot

yup, we pay a lot for car tax and many malaysians still dun realize this.. what to do , we live in this boleh land which have this kind of mentality "if u dun wan to pay toll, u boleh naik lembu kereta" , so same goes here, if u dun wan to pay car tax, u boleh naik lembu juga..

btw, i dun mind to pay this tax actually as long we have clean & transparent gomen, where the money really-really goes back to rakyat, like free highway(UK), free water (eire) free education (germany), etc.... arrghh stop dreaming.

hello there.
how about bring back the motorcycle <100cc??is it the same procedure and price??
