hello guys..just wanna ask u guys..have u ever heard bout singapore cars being sold here to malaysians?it's almost similar with the ones where people buy this singaporean superbikes and use em on malaysian roads...is it legal for us to go n get ourselves those singaporeans cars?

Hey guys,

I have a small question. Is it possible to buy a car from my home country and then import it into Malaysia as a student without having to pay import tax? In my home country it is possible to do such a thing but the status of the car is that the car cannot be registered to any one else and the car cannot be sold. Reason I want to do this is because I have a car back in my country that I want to import but not want to pay the import tax for it. So is this sort of thing possible? And I am not talking about that Malaysia as a Second Home project because I am just a student here and do not own a house.

Thanks to all!

if you're simply bringing in cause you're a student here for studies, then no you cant.

Suppose I have a Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R V SPEC II that I want to bring over to Malaysia. It MY (Year of manufacturing) is November 2001. How much in taxes am I to expect?

use calculator maaaa... vely easi one

This is my tax calculation when I brought back my w203 c180 elegance a few months ago.

Docket price: DM 41200
* the car was first registered in 11/2000 according to the v5 document so no euro yet, Germany still uses Deutsche Mark. It is weird that they use Germany currency for Mercedes docket price no matter where it was actually assembled in, ie South Africa.

Peralihan: -15% DM 35020

Depreciation: 11/2000 - 11/2005 -70% DM 10506
- 11/2006 -10% DM 9455.4
- 11/2007 -10% DM 8509.86
- 11/2008 -10% DM 7658.874
* eventhough the car gets to port in September, they refused to grant another 10% because it is not full year. The difference this 10% made to the final tax is roughly RM1300 which pisses me off so much. Dua bulan pun nak kira.
TOTAL: DM 7658.87

CIF:
Cost = 7658.87 x 1.73333 = RM 13275.12
Insurance = RM 199.13
Freight = RM 1700.00
----------------
CIF RM 15174.25
=========
*The exchange that they used is badly outdated I bet so the actual Docket price in RM is soooo low in comparison to Euro priced counterparts due to the high Euro exchange. A 2001 (which will use Euro) can have up to 20% increase in the docket price.

Discounts:
Custom Selangor : -20% RM 12139.4
Custom Putrajaya : -10% RM 10925.46
AFTER DISCOUNT: RM 10925.46

* Due to some over eager b**tards , they clamped down on discounts so the maximum any one person can get now is limited to 30%. I heard a story about a guy that get upwards of 45% before but it is no more.

Payment Calculation:
Duty : 30% RM 3277.638
Excise : 80% RM 11362.4784
Sales Tax : 10% RM 2556.55764
TOTAL TAX : RM 17196.68

* They did calculation without the discounts and it should have been RM 23884.28 so with full 30% discount I saved roughly RM 5700
* If we used Beastx's effective rate for tax calculation which is RM 10925.46 x 157.4%, we get the exact amount but with little less pening kepala.

To eloborate on the excise part/figure....
80% of (Import + car_value)
80% of (30%+100%) = 104%, So Excise is actually 104%...

and sales...
10% of (30% + 104% + 100%) = 23.4%, Sales tax is actually 23.4%.... That's where we get 157.4% (30+104+23.4)

Tax upon tax, upon tax we are essentially taxed 3 times for import tax and 2 times for excise tax,

To see it another way if we consider percentages from only the CIF value, (Non ASEAN car import, 2L engine)
Import duty is 59.4%
Excise is 88%
Sales is 10%

If import duty is dropped (ASEAN cars 5% to 0).. The effectively drop the % tax is 9.9% (or 107.9% to 98%) for a sub 2L engine car.

how to sold an AP ya??? my friend who study abroad, don't want to used his AP...

I know some people who buy student APs as a business but they all based in the UK so if your friend is studying there, I can PM you their contacts.

opss...my friend study in us...

Thank you bedok for sharing your car tax calculation, based on my car tax calculator , the total tax is RM17,945, slightly higher than your tax which is RM17196. This is because, you are lucky to get discount based on CIF value. My car tax calculator is based from here. So discount is calculated before CIF value. It is based on the car value after depreciation deduction. However it doesnt matter coz the difference only around 900RM but it gud 4 u

What I am trying to say here, this Kasatam does not have standard calculation method...plsss la mr ketam, publish one UPDATED standard calc. method on ur website...

The discount given... applies to the CIF value, was the same case with me.

To be more precise: You can apply for the 'once-in-a-lifetime' student AP for the immediate/foreseeable future (unless there is a change in gov. policies/AP being dropped/obsolete).

I'm thinking of getting something like This

Can anyone give me a rough idea of whats it gonna cost me when i bring it over?

it's a 2.7 6 year old car from uk as an example I guess.

also will there be any difference if the car is from us?

1. About rm55k for tax provided u get 30% discount.
2. left hand drive.

Hi guys im actually studying in UK and im planning to bring back BMW M3 as a gift to my father

What i dont understand is the docket price? The customs actually set the docket price of a car rite?

So what is the exact docket price for the M3?

The car that im planning to bring back is 2002 registered and the cc is 3.2litre.

The duty import and duty excise value for the car is how much at a figure?

Sorry to ask silly question.

Effective tax: 221.75%... 8 years depreciation... docket price: roughly the selling price in Germany, minus a few k or 10k(s)
