Hello Tax sifus,

I am glad I found this thread and have done some preliminary reading.  Currently I am away on assignment in Europe for several years and am toying with the idea of getting the car I have always dreamt of owning... an old aircooled 911 Porsche (from the 1980s i.e. 1984 to 1988).  These are not really cheap and considered a little bit like classic cars here in Europe, so I am wondering how much the costs would be to bring them back to Malaysia.

From the previous posts, I've noticed that the tax calculation on the car will be extremely low.  Is this correct?

Also are there 1 stop shop runners who take care of the entire process when I want to return to Malaysia?  Please contact me for discussions via PM if there are.  Thanks a lot for any response.

So, in order to import, I must be studying there and returning soon?  If I have already returned for more than 6 years, any chance?

On the first page, it says about everyone malaysian is entitled for 1 AP in life, does that still mean I need to meet those requirements, like a student/working AP?

If one brings in the car, can he sell it?  Or it has to wait for certain time?

Went to the website of WTG logistic, quite confused w/ the sample tax calculation there.  For a BMW, he needs to pay 9xk tax?  WOuldn't that make the car cheaper here?

Need some help.  I can barely read Malay so some of the information I have read is pretty confusing.

I am planning to return to Malaysia next year after graduation, am currently a student and have been here for 10 years which makes me eligible for AP.

If I was to purchase a 2006 BMW 323i at 27~28k NZD, what would be the total cost at the end of the day?

Example:

Also, do Japanese cars still have 25% off initial value?

Its really important for me as we will be bringing two cars back.  One on my AP and one from my mother's AP as she has worked for over a year.

Thanks.

basically the custom tax is almost the same as the cost u bought the used car (+-RM5k)

Oh okay, did you get a 25% off initial value for your rx-8 since its japanese brand/built?

165% x [above 3L car.. value (depreciate as stated in my previous post)]... 6 years old car and above has the highest tax cut

not sure of the Euro made cars... but Japanese made cars (or brand) have 25% off the initial value of car before depreciation calculation..

there is also appeal where you can get few k RM discount...

Even you get the car for free.. you still need to pay tax based on evaluation and currency of country of origin.

Usually the tax imposed (for 8 years old or more) on car is less than the market value of the car... A RM24.5k car ... would probably be at around RM40k total (tax and cost)

Ah I'm not too sure about that but I read that on the first page which is probably outdated.

for runner try this, with a fee RM1500-2500, all documentation will be handled...

supposed that is a trade tax, it applies for all used car...

Hi need some advice from all of u guys..
Currently 1 of my friend's already back to Malaysia for good since 5th March 2011, graduated from Ireland. He didn't use his AP and considering to sell it to me. So he still have time until June since AP is valid for 3 months right? The situation now is, can I use Ireland's AP for a car purchased in UK? My other friend currently studying in UK and he can handle all the process in UK if I wanna buy a car there. It is just I need confirmation whether my friend who graduated from Ireland can use his AP for UK's car since it's in EU..
U can always bring a bike back here. Most of my friends and seniors graduated from States bring back a superbike. For example a 2nd hand 2007 Yamaha R1 can easily fetch around RM70k here. I believe in States it is around RM20k only. Or if u can afford the maintenance here, buy a Ducati 
budakhops, any recommendation how to bring back a car from Japan? 2 of my friends coming back in August I think, couldn't recall but graduating in this year. If I couldn't make it to use my friend's AP from UK i might gonna use the one from my friends in Japan. UK cars mostly comes with high mileage 

Hey , actually i want to find bike but not car in these kind of TAXES !!!
But, lucky i found and came in this post...

AP must be apply within 3 month from date return..

Dude.. you're asking a question about year 2018.  Things change.  You're too young to bother about these matters to be honest.  I don't mean to ridicule you but... wait until the time comes.  Laws change.
