    medyo confused ako. ibig sabihin customs duties is only part of the taxes levied? kasi akala ko yun mga luxury imported automatic 100% tax

    For future reference on why a lot of Chinese cars have 1.5L and below engines.



    China's tax on small-engine cars to be raised to 7.5% in 2017 | IHS Markit

    the Chinese government will introduce the new tax rate on locally produced vehicles fitted with engines of 1.6 litres and smaller on 1 January 2017. The new tax rate of 7.5% of the selling price for small-engine vehicles is still lower than the 10% charged for vehicles with engines larger than 1.6 litres.

    What's with China-cars and 1.5-liter engines? | Autofun

    Through Executive Orders 71 and 72, the late President Benigno S. Aquino III reduced import duties on vehicles from the PRC from 20% to just 5% on vehicles that met the criteria AHTN 8703.21 (Motor vehicles with engine displacement 1000cc and below) and AHTN 8703.22 (motor vehicles with engine displacement exceeding 1000cc but not exceeding 1500cc).

    the philippine market for chinese cars is so small, compared to the rest of their foreign buyers, "they wouldn't do this just for us".
    so why did our government favor the 1500?
    dunno.

    a furrin auto journalist attempted to explain it, that "1500 cc is better",
    but nahilo ako sa explanation niya.

    my 1.10 pesos' worth.

    yes. as I remember. China made local tax exemptions for cars with 1500cc and below... that's why most their cars have 1500cc (and below)

    as for AutoFun's article... I just shared it as I always thought it was Du30's admin who gave the tax adjustment
