Is the road tax actually cheaper for electric cars in Malaysia?

We’ve seen the launch of the Porsche Taycan and the MINI Cooper SE in Malaysia this year. They were surprisingly priced lower than our expectations. The MINI Cooper SE has a price tag of RM 218,380 and the Taycan 4S starts at RM 725,000. We did expect the MINI to be priced lower than the BMW i3s, but the Taycan is cheaper in Malaysia than it is in Thailand. The “low” price of these cars could be a result of the 10% excise tax on all electric cars as opposed to 60% to 105% for ICE cars. When we t

5 kereta dengan harga ‘road tax’ termahal di Malaysia

Sesetengah pihak berpendapat bahawa struktur cukai jalan (road tax) di negara kita agak melampau. Malah mereka menggesa industri untuk guna sistem yang berasaskan kadar pelepasan (emission-based). Salah satu cara untuk membayar road tax dengan murah ialah dengan enjin yang berkapasiti lebih kecil. Dalam erti kata lain, pembeli harus memiliki kereta yang menggunakan enjin turbo ataupun hibrid. Harga road tax yang mahal mungkin menjadi penghalang buat pembeli. Sebab inilah kereta dengan enjin V8 j

5 cars with the highest road tax price in Malaysia

Some say that our road tax structure is archaic and demand an emissions-based system. One way to pay less road tax in Malaysia is to opt for a smaller engine, which usually means opting for turbocharged cars or hybrid cars. The road tax of a car can be a deal-breaker to some, and it is one of the reasons we don’t see that many V8 engines around. Used cars with big engines are a big turn off, since the annual road tax is almost half their value. So, just how expensive can the road tax be? Well, h

Road tax paid to JPJ don’t go to road maintenance, so what are we paying for?

Most of us take it for granted that road tax, by virtue of its name, goes directly into maintenance of non-tolled roads, but that's actually not true. Instead, road tax is just yet another channel of government revenue, and it's not used exclusively for road maintenance. Which begs the obvious question, what are we paying for then? Before we go further and for the benefit of those who missed our last article, here's some background. The former Director General of MIROS (Malaysian Institute of Ro

If you are surprised to find out that the road tax we pay every year doesn’t contribute to paying for road repairs then safe to say you’re not alone.

Zero tax for EVs in Malaysia soon, but there's a catch

Prices of electric vehicles (EVs) in the near future could be cheaper, as a draft roadmap by the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Centre (Greentech Malaysia) revealed. As part of the upcoming roadmap aptly called Low Carbon Mobility Blueprint (LCMB), one of the proposals is to waive excise duty and import tax for up to 100,000 units of EVs until 2022.

So although the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max are locally-assembled, both models will continue to be taxed at the current 10 percent rate because pick-up trucks are classified as commercial vehicles (though private registrations are allowed).
