Motorcycle prices to rise by up to 20% in Malaysia due to OMV revision, will severely affect B40 – MASAAM
- The implementation of the Excise (Determination of Value of Locally Manufactured Goods for the Purpose of Levying Excise Duty) Regulations 2019 was deferred, thereby sparing motorists from paying additional charges of up to 30%.
- Should they be implemented, the new regulations would have affected the sales of new cars in the country, leading to an eventual decline in jobs.
- Motorcycle prices in Malaysia will rise by between 10% to 20%, with those in the B40 and M40 income groups the most affected.
- The conflicting considerations between raising tax revenues and attracting investments into the industry needs to be resolved.
- Balancing out investment incentives and tax levies could ensure continued viability for CKD operations, local workers, and suppliers.
- The industry warns that implementing the OMV revision could lead to the entry of parallel importers.
- The revision concerns the calculation of a CKD vehicle’s open market value (OMV), incorporating profit, office-related expenses sales, art, design, patent, and licensing fees.
- The regulations define OMV as the total market value of a CKD vehicle ex-factory before excise duties are imposed.
- Without clarity, investments will continue to be hampered, thus reversing the regulation should be considered.
- The motorcycle industry urges the government to revisit the OMV/402 regulations to avoid a significant cost impact on the livelihoods of consumers.
