Duty structure for CKD and CBU units,
http://www.pmo.gov.my/WebNotesApp/PMMain.n...p%20-%20cbu.doc
E90 320i CIF Price = 91,545, engine CC = 1995
Duty (CBU) = 30% Import Duty, 80 % Excise Duty, 10% Sales Tax
1) 91,545 * 1.3 = 119,008.5 (after import duty)
2) 119,008.5 *1.8 = 214,215.3 (after excise duty)
3) 214,215.3 * 1.1 =
235,636.83 (this will be BMW's cost price)
New selling price inclusive of roadtax, registration and ownership claim fee (RM 743.30) =
249,800.00
So BMW only makes RM
13,419.87 (after deducting roadtax, registration fee and ownership claim fee, not too sure about insurance since its not indicated) gross profit for each car sold??
Similarly if the E90 is locally assembled (CKD), then the duty structure will be 5% Import tax, 80% excise duty, 10% sales tax (beats me why there is import tax??!!! :beaten: :beaten: )
1) 91,545 * 1.05 = 96,112.25
2) 96,225 * 1.80 = 173,020.05
3) 173,020.05 * 1.1 =
190,322.055
A whopping difference of
45,314.78 which is easily more than 10+++% in savings
...if and only if the savings are pass to the consumers.
