KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua vehicles are 1% to 3% cheaper under the Sales and Services Tax (SST), which came into effect on Sept 1, 2018, as compared to their Goods and Services Tax (GST)-era pricing.

“Based on the new tax structure, almost all Perodua models see price reductions compared to the GST price structure,” said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Managing Director Datuk Dr Zahari Husin.

The government had zerorised the GST rate on June 1, 2018, allowing for a three-month tax holiday before the implementation of the SST, set at 10% for sales and 6% for services.

“We wish to thank all Malaysians, especially our 3.3 million valued customers who have chosen Perodua as their brand of choice. We will continue to offer the best value in the Malaysian market with our new prices,” said Zahari.

“On Perodua’s service and parts, we will continue to give competitive pricing to our customers. We truly appreciate the unwavering support the people have shown for our products and services, and will continue to improve ourselves for our customers.”
