Volkswagen Revises Prices With New SST Tax Structure, Cars Even More Affordable Now!

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) today announced the revised prices of all Volkswagen models with the implementation of the Sales and Service Tax (SST) on the 1st of September 2018. With the exception of CBU models, the new prices of Volkswagen cars are now lower than previous prices with 6% GST. Additionally, the VPCM Price Protection Scheme (PPS) is still applicable for all models registered by the 15th of November 2018 and while stocks last.  Since the introduction of PPS, VPCM has seen a rise in demand for Volkswagen models. While VPCM is doing its best to meet the demand, stocks are very limited and customers are urged to not delay placing their bookings.

Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM (above) said, “In line with the Government’s initiative, we are very pleased that the new tax structure has allowed us to be more competitive with our prices. With the new tax structure, the reduction of Volkswagen prices ranges from 1.5% (for the Tiguan Comfortline) to 2.6% (for the Vento Highline) compared against the previous tax structure with GST. We believe that the new prices, as well as our recently-introduced Price Protection Scheme (PPS) makes owning a Volkswagen even more attractive to Malaysians.”
