No 10% drop in car prices despite 10% Sales Tax exemption, here’s why

As you already know, the government has announced that all new locally-assembled (CKD) passenger cars will be exempted from paying the 10 percent sales tax starting 15-June until 31-December. Imported new cars will be given a 50 percent discount on sales tax, meaning that sales tax is still applicable, but at a lower 5 percent rate. However, this doesn’t mean that the prices of new CKD cars will drop by 10 percent. Most cars only saw a reduction of between 3 to 6 percent. Why is that so? The sim
