The government has announced that there will be another extension to the new vehicle sales tax (SST) exemption period to December 31, 2021. This will be the second extension of the SST relief, which was introduced on June 15, 2020 under the Penjana programme. Originally scheduled to end on December 31 last year, it was then extended to June 30, 2021.
As before, the percentage of SST exemption remains unchanged from what was announced before, with 100% exemption for locally-assembled (CKD) cars and 50% for fully-imported (CBU) cars.
The new vehicle sales tax exemption is part of the government’s Penjana programme in order to spur demand within the local automotive market. The sales tax exemption has resulted in reduced prices for passenger cars, although pick-up trucks are not eligible as they are classified as commercial vehicles.
With this, new car buyers won’t have to worry about running out of time to register their vehicle before the SST exemption period ends. There will be no chance to perform new car registrations in the next two weeks, as the country goes into lockdown under the tightened third movement control order (MCO 3.0) from tomorrow, June 1 to 14, but there will be plenty of time after that.
What about the excemption of renewal of expired roadtax which was till end May 2021

Duduk rumah shopping kereta jer laa
Betui. Bukannye pembeli keta p2 akan kesah pun, dok dlm keta bergegar masa test drive pun trus booking. Bukannye suke tapi trpaksa… xde keta lagi murah. Beli kat shopee pun xde hal.
With the prolonged pandemic, economy has been paralyzed. The affected person might suffer pay-cut, or worst out-of-job. Zero income. In such situation……still think of buying car ka?
Now, selling new cars with SST exemption ain’t going to help becoz people simply dont have the money. Some can’t even pay their rent, food, etc.
Unlikely ppl will buy new cars at the moment. Except big bosses or untoucable kayangan people.
Orang biasa can just only meleleh air liur.
Remember Paultan ACE 2021?
RM80Mil worth of cars sold
That is a relief for customers waiting for their cars. Kudos to the Prihatin Government and MITI.
Now,with lockdowns even u slash all car taxes and give indefinite tax holidays,it is meaningless.This is cos the lockdown may go on for 2 months or more.
Forgoing menteri salaries does not solve the huge problems.
What is baffling is bazzaars ,pasar malams,premature opening of schools etc…all these should have been “locked down ” earlier.
Albert Einstein said : If u keep doing the same thing and expect different results..this is called INSANITY.
Giving handouts is” minor surgery”.Prevention of crowds and overcrowding to contain the virus is”major surgery”.
Do you need a PHD in Epidemiology to understand how the virus spreads?
Implement full lockdown earlier? This is YOUR comment is it not?

What about used car dealers?
I think their business will collapse if no test drive is allowed.Used cars need to be driven at least a short distance to give the buyer a raw feel at least how good or bad the car is.
THe condition should be..during non rainy days..2 windows 50 percent open to allow fresh air in.The buyer test drive,while the salesman sit behind..all with face masks and shields.Does this make more sense?
question is currently not much stock are available since last year end.
Haha. Now can slowly wait for good offer. Be need to rush
Many people are getting pay-cut, or laid-off…….still got mood to think, and buy new car meh?
Even the new car being delivered to their front gate today, owners also cannot drive it far, becoz of nationwide lockdown.
Even if you give free new cars (to frontliners, for example), they will be too tired and have no time to drive them.
So, SST isn’t helping much in reality.
Wanna help? Put in energy, effort, resources, thoughts, etc in battling COVID19 which is most crucial at the very moment. Focus!
If they didnt put in energy, effort, resources, thoughts, etc in battling COVID19 , they wont have taken the hard decision to lockdown the country once again.
nice..now i can buy my ferrari for cheaper price
CKD means also for locally made cars like Perodua and Proton cars? or CKD Imports? I am still confused by this announcement. Anyone can clarify?
no money, we know, let rakyat buy car cheaper….
