Some of the cheapest small cars in the market include an Indian made Maruti and the Tata Nano. Reginald Heyzer sales Manager of A*W said the price of an 800cc engine Maruti may go up by over 100,000 rupees and an Alto model by about 75,500 rupees.

Looks like they have made a fruit salad this time... According to a clearing agent nothing is currently in operation in Customs Vehicle section. (Bcs of HSCODE Confusions) I have checked with a friend who cleared a buddy van last April HSCODE : 8704.31.71 XID : 56% According to latest .pdf published on Custom site new XID is 41% for 8704.31.71 ... Which means a drop.... Total Confusion ....

Heard that Lamborghinis have already arrived at port...

Hello ramithad, I also got to know today this hscode change... old HSCODE 8704.21.91 remains for Double cabs.. Petral and Diesel vans they are going to have a new hscode they said.. Could you Please publish the new HSCODES for Vans as soon as you receive it from your clearing agent....

Hello ramithad, Other than based on rumours can you show how the commercial van tax has increased by this budget by numbers? For HSCODE : 8704-21-91 Old XID -> 56% New XID -> 56% Old CID -> 30% New CID -> 30% ( Old values refer to the ones imposed on 31-March-2012 ) ref: http://www.customs.gov.lk/ All changes have been published....

yep And some changes to the Taxes to Lorries, Trucks based on ton capacity..

and this? http://www.customs.gov.lk/tariff/rpo2013.pdf

Below are the types get affected.. HSCODE for van is 8704.21.91 AFAIK... http://www.customs.gov.lk/tariff/Import%20Cess%20Gazette.pdf http://www.customs.gov.lk/tariff/budgetSpeech2013-eng_73_91.pdf

Heard that Huge amount of tax needed to be paid when we are going to register these cut vehicles after 31st March 2012..... Several times higher than the old amounts which had to be paid by old buyers

Is there any new updates about this? Heard new lot is on the way ... ????

But My neighbour's friend's son's classmate's mom's sister is also married to the brother of the head typist of the government press... According to him, the only impact is to the hibrid vehicle market , taxes going down by 9% 7.5% decrease to below 1000CC vehicles will have absolutely no impact to the current vehicle market ... It looks like it is more depended on interest rates...

This is my recent experience with Pun*** nivasa I put my 2006 Maruti Alto Car for sale at above *Nivasa* 2 weeks ago. Since I wanted sell my car very soon, I put a price, well below the prices of other same type-year vehicles. For the first week since there was no inquiry at all I dropped the price by 20K... after 2 , 3 days I again dropped by another 20 since I had some urgency.... ( Now my car was about 60 thousand below the cheapest one) Since i still didn't have any inquiry at all, Decided to take the vehicle out. ( That is saturday evening ) When we try to start the vehicle battery seemed like it is fully dead. one Battery terminal was so loose that I could remove it by hand.. When checking the battery water, it was 90% empty. Remember that, we had checked battery water levals before giving it to *Nivasa*. But we didn't suspect anything and one of the good employees helped us to start the vehicle by using some other vehicle near by... On our way home, it started to rain and when try to activate the vipers it was fully out of control. Then only we noticed that vipers are not the ones we have had.. We had 2 badges on top of the vipers. Then we went to Pun... Office and complained that those are missing and also suspect that our batteries have also been replaced... I said I can show the vehicle photo advertised on AutoLanka site.. They said they also have photoes of evehicle.. But when the Lady there, searched the vehicle on the system, could not find any image... We got bit tempered and told that we are going to the police and complain. The manager there, told that they have no problem with that. When checking the situation with a lawyer he said it would have been better if we had checked everything before taking the vehicle out.. our Mistake... Anyway God help to anyone who put the vehicle at *Nivasa*

Thanks for advices
