After the announcement of a temporary sales tax exemption for passenger vehicles by prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, several queries were received from Malaysian motorcyclists if this applied to two-wheelers as well. The answer is, no, the tax exemption to stimulate the Malaysian economy after the movement control order (MCO), slated to run till from June 15 until December 31, 2020, does not apply to motorcycles.
However, motorcycles and scooters in Malaysia with engines below 150 cc in displacement do not attract sales tax. This means for the small motorcycle market, riders were already enjoying relief from sales tax on new machines.
Therefore, for the Malaysia two wheeler market in general, no price adjustments are expected. For passenger cars in Malaysia, there is a 100% sales tax exemption on locally-assembled (CKD) models and 50% on fully-imported (CBU) models for the period mentioned.
Motors are still relatively cheap so reduction in sales taxes meant nothing to kapcai buyers. What would really help is to reduce the duties imposed on motor CKD parts under NAP2020. This is what caused Honda cub prices to go from RM 4k to near RM 9,000 today.
No worries bro the mat rempits still can afford it and they even spent cash to mod it so it can fly to the moon.
Abang abang hampeh superbike xjadi murah
This is a good move. Government knows the Mat Rempit are all a menace in Malaysia. Infact, not just Mat Rempit racing but even on our Federal Highway, everyday for past 1 year, so many accidents on the fast lane because kutu bawak moto refuse to use bike lane.
The Government knows, all these abang abang are just refusing to follow orders nd causing so many accidents
Copy paste: “Did you actually research before posting garbage on the internet?”
Good move my foot.
Actually it’s Poodua are all a menace in Malaysia. Infact, not just Poodua drivers like to racing but even on Highway, everyday, so many accidents on the fast lane because kutu bawak kereta don’t know how to slow down, only know high beaming others.
The Government knows, all these Poodua bastards and bitches are just don’t know how to drive (that’s why Poodua already ditching manual transmission cars in their lineup) and causing so many accidents.
They also can modify the cabuk RXZ till the price skyrocketing at around RM70,000. What the dumb mat rempit.
Deswai kne extend PKPB sampai bulan Sept 9
10% diskaun from RM 4000 kapcai is only ciput RM400…. 1/4 of my RM1600 BPN handout. How to mod la when Kastam duties is higher than diskaun sum!!!!!
Cheaper kapcai only lead to more ketum parti
Now PH got kicked out, ketum parties have been reduced drastically.
Yep. Too many ketum parties in bars n pubs during lockdown deswai polis come to serbu. Cheaper bikes help to deliver ketum to these moronic ahbengs & ahlians.
We have guling the stupid PH rule, now it is time to guling the equally stupid NAP2020 policy. Power to the rakyat!
Hear! Hear!
You mean the smart abam Air Suam & Doraemon voice. Hear! Hear!
As long NAP2020 digulingkan. Hear! Hear!
Abesla MAI NAP2020 , Madani new MOT.
“…duties imposed on motor CKD. This is what caused Honda cub prices to go from RM 4k to near RM 9,000 today.”
Solution: Make the parts in Malaysia like others too.
At least, give la tax exemption to kapcai bikes, for abang abang to cari makan, riding to work, food delivery jobs, etc.
Economy these days down, cari makan also very susah. Tolong la sikit, PN govt.
“However, motorcycles and scooters in Malaysia with engines below 150 cc in displacement do not attract sales tax.”
Tak reti baca ke?
Take a look at Hafiz explanation above. Which makes more sense for the buyer, a sales tax exemption of 10% or Rm900 from a Rm9000 bike or a reduction of Rm4000 back to a saner Rm4000+ pricing as before? Revamping the NAP policy is the right way to go.
Its a good move to reduce prices of cars. Look at our country as compared to cities like new york, london, dubai, shanghai and etc. we look like a poor country as we see mostly cheap cars on the road as our car prices are too expensive. Tourist won’t know that. They only see whats on the road. Malu siot. If we want to be big, we need ti think big and forget short term gains. Get those ferraris or lambo on the road. Investors confidence will go up and we’ll attract more investor interest as well as youtube exposures when people visit malaysia. Time to up our image. Don’t worry about traffic jamm. It will self adjust
Most foreigner not care about what car on our road. They don’t value car as Asian do
What no sales tax for motorcycle below 150cc, then why is our prices way above our neighbor’s Indon & Thai.
In Thailand the bikes are more expensive?
Yamaha Xciter 150 (Thailand) = THB62,500 = RM8,471
Yamaha Y15ZR (Malaysia) = RM8,168 = THB60,265
Yamaha Y15ZR (Malaysia) = RM8,168 ？！
Are you kidding？？
Please….revise back licence B2 bike till 350cc
to stimulate big cc into market and also please reduce tax
