Hey guys........I'm currently a student in the UK, and I am really confused with this AP mumbo jumbo, so I really need your help

If I do get an AP, does it mean that the car I'm importing from the UK will be EXEMPTED FROM TAX? (as in RM0)

Thx for your help


Edit : Oh dear I've just read the previous posts and looks like it's gonna be a whole SHITLOAD of tax

Hi guys

Im a malaysian currently in the UK and would have qualified for the 'Programme to Encourage Malaysian Citizens with Expertise Residing Overseas to Return to Malaysia' thing.

Ive been reading this thread at one go and like many others cant help but being slightly confused as to how it works.

I suppose my ultimate question is that, if I were to buy a car from here, in addition to the cost of the car itself as well as the shipping from UK to Msia, will there be any other cost pertaining to it? ie will the tax be absolutely zero under this programme?

If anybody (I saw quite a number of knowledgeable ppl here lol) could enlighten me on this i will be extremely grateful

many thanks

0 tax.....

p.s. If you're a PhD holder you only need 2 years working in that field (listed by the gov) to qualify

How about the driving license? I'm planning on bringing my bike to Malaysia this May but my driving license is still P. I tried calling the office but can't manage to get through. Anyone here know the answer for this?

u need full m'sian driving license. Thats is not an option matey..

Oh man this is really bad. I already got all documents ready to bring the bike this May. You sure about this? You have asked the MITI office?

last time i knew was MUST have full licence..but think had bumped into a "P holders can apply", not sure where n when..being so forgetful lately..

haha bout "You have asked MITI office", i wonder who's really the applicant hehe..
ask someone go to MITI and ask for confirmation, otherwise seek for document 11 in the miti website..
btw, you are from the States eh?

Yup, I'm from the States and can't wait to go back to Malaysia . I already called MITI office and they said that I can use my P license to bring the bike back home. Ain't that nice . Now all I need to do is prepare the cash to pay the tax

hey graham, do we need the purchase invoice for the application?

no need.... you just need proof of ownership of more than 9 months.... like the.... registration card....

yeah i feel you bro, must be the receipt/invoice eh? dont worry, tell them that you bought it from private, hence no purchase invoice..rego n dereg form are compulsory...
dude cant wait to feel your ride bro hehe

hi, im also a student whos about to go back for good. from what i understand, you got this AP once in a life time, meaning even if i am to come back or work oversea in the future, i wont have it anymore if i use it now?

one more thing, there are few person asking me to sell my AP. how does this work?

Yes once in a life-time.....

Selling AP/car would be troublesome.... the car has to be under your name for 2 years after importation.. before you can transfer the ownership (As will be stated on your registration card).

how to calc tax if i'm buying a 2004 suzuki solio from labuan? the car is new only old stock. selling price 34k. couldnt figure out the kastam tax calc as its for imported cars from overseas iirc...

Thanks for the answer

Same tax applies..... you just dont need an AP

What about the ownership of the car? Is the 9 months period apply to the program??

If I'm not mistaken you can get a brand new one in Malaysia (BMW/Merc/Toyota) ....or from overseas without tax (you pay for shipping and dock handling prices though)

hey beastX
maybe this question has been asked though
but lets just assume this is for the benefit of the masses

whats the normal rate of the price for AP will be charged should we intend to bring a car from overseas into malaysia via grey importers

thanks
