Malaysian Automotive Industry Receives Two-Year Deferment on OMV Excise Duty Regulations

At the 2022 review by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) this morning, president Datuk Aishah Ahmad revealed that the automotive industry has received a two-year deferment of new open market value (OMV) excise duty regulations from the government. This means that there will be no OMV implementation for two years.

Aishah said when quizzed on the issue, adding that MAA – the club that represents all carmakers in Malaysia – received the letter of approval from the government in the last week of December 2022. When asked on the new government’s stand on the issue, Aishah said that it’s early days and MAA will continue to engage with the policymakers. “We have to let the new government settle down first. Closer to the date, maybe next year, we’ll appeal again and put forth our suggestions on why we have to maintain the old OMV,” she said. What’s this all about and why does OMV matter? Here’s some background. In 2019, the then Pakatan Harapan government came up with a new OMV calculation formula. Prepared by the finance ministry and gazetted on the final day of 2019, it was originally planned to come into effect in 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With higher OMV, CKD locally assembled vehicles will attract higher taxes. OMV is the final market value of a CKD car ex-factory, before the government imposes excise duty on it. An assortment of components determine the OMV, and these include the cost of the CKD pack, cost of manufacturing and components as well as assembly and administration charges. The gazetted new regulation adds new components to the OMV calculation, adding into account not just the profit and general expenses incurred or accounted in the manufacture of a vehicle, but also of its sale
