Vehicle Import Tax

[daram]

what is the best way to avoid the custom duty on vehicles? can you buy a duty permit from an MP? is it legal ? howe much would it cost? how do you calculate the tax rate for diesel and petrol vehicles above 2000 CC?

there is no way to avoid duty other than getting a duty free permit. but those are not cheap. plus the vehicle will have to be in the permit holders name for atleast 5 years.

i believe NGO's get duty free vehicles. you might try that option

actually it is pretty easy to start an NGO... that's why they were popping up all over the place right after the tsunami, after that the govt put a stop to new NGO's being created in the country

yep lot of people made lot of money thanks to the tsunami

i think BOI projects also get duty free permits. so does hotels. about 3 - 4 years ago hotels used to get a permit. don't know about the current situation.

your best option is to get a MP permit. don't worry about the transferability its not an big issue.

forgot embassies too get permits. but they are not allowed to be sold to general public. if they are sold buyer have to pay an extra amount when registering which even out the duty free advantage. i've seen couple of landcrusers with 'FZ-xxxx' numbers. those are brought down under that permit.
