I should have been more specific... use my calculations on post 66 on page 4..
There is no made in Japan (25% cut, but a 15% "keuntungan peralihan" cut)
The last part on Effective tax can be disputed, it is either 115.5% or 150.25%(as stated)

If your FOB value is RM 50k (estimate), after 6 years it will be RM15k, RM13.5k (if after 72 months they give you 10% depreciation.

CIF value = RM13.5k + RM1.2k + RM202.5 = RM14.9k

Effective maximum tax (if it is 115.5%) = RM 17.2k, (if it is 150.25%) =  RM22.39k...

You can appeal for further cuts... 30 to 40% more (of the effective tax) if you are lucky..

This also highly depends on the exchange rate. It would be much better if it is calculated based on AUD than Yen. The difference could be as much as 30% (Yen gain against AUD since Sep 08)

So after reading this forum for almost 1 hour, can someone please answer this simple question: DOES IT MEAN IT IS NOT WORTH IT TO IMPORT CAR BACK FROM UK?
I keep planning to buy this Porsche Cayman, second hand is £20k, brand new is £40k.  (exchange rate now is x5.2) It is a 2007 year model with 2.7 Liter

How much will the tax work out to bring this back to my beloved country of Malaysia? I am crap with numbers, please please help...

I am so sad now..... listen to my friend and thought got an AP in a lifetime means it will be cheap.

I got a 2004 RX 8 now, it is only 1.3 (bought it for £5k only, new one will be £18k), will this car be worth it to bring back Msia?

Thanks for your help.
