Buyers of Proton cars to enjoy zero-rated GST prices


IDEAS economist Adli Amirullah said on Tuesday the future of automotive policy still remains uncertain.

KUALA LUMPUR: Buyers of Proton car will enjoy lower post zero-rated Goods and Services Tax (GST) pricing with immediate effect despite the tax re-rating only only due for implementation on June 1, 2018.

Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Bhd (Proton) said although sticker prices would remain the same until the date GST gets zero-rated.  

“All customers would be offered the choice between an instant cash rebate for cars registered from May 16-31 or service vouchers equivalent in value to the difference between the current and new price of the car, effective June.

“The zero-rated GST offer is also extended to car servicing at all authorised Proton Service Centres where a six per cent discount (for labour and periodical maintenance parts only) is being offered to owners who send in their cars for periodical maintenance,” Proton said in a statement today.

The national car maker also said its customers received exciting sales initiatives this month which made it even easier to own a Proton. - Bernama
