The CIF price is fixed to 5 years. This is the cause of the high tax. For example, in the old system docket price for my car at 5 years old is RM33,678. So a 6 years old car would be 10% less at RM30,310. My car, a 7 years old car would get a further 10% to be RM27,279 (coincidentally this is nearly the price I paid my car for, so this is a correct valuation i think)BUT in the new system, the CIF price that would be used for the tax calculation must be the figures that is stated in the docket, and the docket only states the figure for a 5 years old car, and it is for "60 months a above" (5 years), meaning any car above 60 months will be valuated at that figure, dont care if its a 10 year old car will still use that RM33,678 figure. No more 10% less for each year passed.Rough calculation for the tax for my car:CIF (Cost Insurance Freight) price for my car in the Customs docket: RM33,678Import tax bracket for my car 193% roughlyRM33,678 x 1.93 = RM64,998Backdated the documents for my car to be owned in the UK over 2 years = Automatic 35% discountRM64,998 x 0.65 = RM42,248</blockquote>
