(25 Feb 2022) The Finance Ministry under Budget 2022 had extended the car sales tax incentive exemption period until June 30, 2022 to encourage car ownership, stimulate local economic growth and drive the development momentum of the automotive sector.

The car sales tax exemption remains the same as before, that is 100 per cent sales tax exemption on locally assembled passenger cars (CKD). Meanwhile, a sales tax exemption of 50 per cent is given to foreign assembled passenger vehicles (CBUs) including MPVs and SUVs, including new imported CBUs and used imported CBUs.

It is generally a lot cheaper and cost effective to purchase Malaysian-produced cars. Foreign vehicles come with a hefty excise tax between 75% – 105% which causes car prices to balloon up by double or triple the price compared to that in other countries. However, as Malaysian cars are generously subsidised by the government, brands such as Proton and Perodua can provide you your basic driving needs without swallowing up a small fortune.

Know what you can afford based on your income and set a realistic budget, a handy tool to have a rough idea about this would be car loan repayment calculators which are even available on some of the car brand and local bank websites. The cost of buying a car does not end with the price you see on paper, as there will be regular monthly and annual expenses including road tax, insurance, car servicing and maintenance, petrol and so on.
