However, very few CKD cars pay the full excise duty rate as the government's Industrial Linkage Program (ILP) offers rebates based on the value of local content used. This is why there is very little difference between the Langkawi and Peninsular Malaysia prices for Perodua and Proton models.

Cars from Japan are also exempted from the 30 percent import duty under the Japan-Malaysia Free Trade Agreement (FTA). But to qualify, manufacturers will need to provide an exhaustive list of origin for every single part used in assembling the car. Due to the requirement, very few Japanese manufacturers have the patience to do this for a small market like Malaysia, so the status quo remains.

This is how cars from Proton and Perodua pay close to no taxes while Hondas and Toyotas, though CKD, are still imposed a higher excise tax.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
