The Sienta.
SHAH ALAM: UMW Toyota Motor has come forward today to declare that prices of the Avanza, Sienta and Rush have reverted to the old prices following the government move to keep excise duties for MPVs below 1,500cc at the previous duty rate of 60%,
The distributor had raised prices on April 10 in reaction to the sudden increase in excise duties from 60% to 65% by the Customs Department, which took effect on April 1 (which wasn’t an April Fools’ prank as some had thought).
However, the department had backtracked on Wednesday and
decided to keep the duties unchanged.
The department had said the decision to revert to 60% was made after taking into account the high demand for completely built-up vehicles.
UMW Toyota Motor said that for customers’ orders collected between April 10 and 12, it would be based on the old prices.
