BMW for P74,644: Only at Customs

[drey]

Can I have the Pajero pwease? Serious buyer po... Total sayang naman kung hindi papatulan diba? Baka maarawan lang sya... Hindi kasalanan ng Pajero na isa syang smuggled item. Pero baka mabulok lang, bilhin ko na ng 32,000....

P.s. Pwede po ba trade-in? Ano po pwede? Lappy? Cellphone o Digital SLR?

Makaka pag pasok pala ako ng Ferrari, Mclaren and other exotics sa mura ng tax. I don't blame them cheating the tax ang mahal kasi at kanino lang mapunta kay tongressman, Senatong, etc...
Senator Recto, gumawa ka muna ng paraan mabawasan ang corruption sa ganun siguro magbabayad ng tama tax ang tao ng pinas.

2003 pa yata yung start ng thread... this was BEFORE they uncovered this anomally... after that the taxes and declaration of prices was changed.

[torque2006]

all car manufacturers/dealers who import CBUs undervalue the vehicles. it's a known fact.

[theveed]

I remember back in highschool a classmate of mine brags that his aunt who's working for the customs can get 5-series BMWs for less than 50K and sell it for over 1.5M, etc...

Ano na balita dito? Wala na rin nang yari? It only happen in the Philippine!

If my recollection is correct, the appraised values of the vehicles cited in this report were not the value for purposes of paying import taxes. Rather, they are the appraised value which will serve as minimum bid prices for the public auction. Mababa na talaga appraised value ng mga vehicles na yan since pag nakita ko yung actual condition nila, grossly depreciated na. As in wala ng computer box, parts, gulong, etc. Saka mostly right hand drive ang mga ito kaya ipapaconvert pa ng winning bidder hence, mababa talaga presyo.

For those importing vehicles from abroad, AFAIK may "blue book" ang Customs kung saan nakalagay yung rate of taxes. Altho meron talaga corruption

[ale828]

every thing in Customs is declared under value.

[need4speed]

I agree with slickae92red. They only undervalue the car to minimize
the tax that they have to pay. They usually still buy the car abroad
at the SRP (standard retail price). :mrgreen:

[kevinp]

ganyan nga. tipid sila sa tax. to be honest, i don't think i can blame them totally kasi whatever tax they pay, kung hindi customs personell ang magbubulsa, congressman, mayor o senador naman.

[pnay_fickle_minded]

Makakapal ang balat ng mga corrupt diyan sa customs, naging way of life na yan dyan.
Kaya generation after generation - corrupt still.
Only a radical approach could change that, from top to bottom, remember messenger (yata yun) bumili ng b/new civic in cash.

[ozcity]
