Bangladesh Vehicle Tax Info

730i or 730Li is only 3000cc or below so duty is 170%

[ripon]

can someone please help me?
I have a 2003 Range Rover 4.4i V8 Vogue, a 2003 Range Rover 3.0 TD6 HSE and
a 2003 Land Rover Discovery 2.5 XS.
I want to send them from the UK to BD. What would be the depreciation allowance for these 3 SUV's? and which tax bracket would they fall under? Also does any one know of any good clearing agent that could handle the importation of these 3 cars?
I have tried to speak to a number of officials but, as with all things in BD, I am getting nowhere... HELP!

you can bring them in the country with very high duty, and you will have really NO buyers for them. Wait until elections 2008, after that things should improve for the ultra luxury car market.

wow, i c the goverment have made some big changes according to the information posted by snkpkp. i believe we will no longer see any new BMW, MERCEDES, PORSCHE or NISSIAN PATROL... i think the goverment is only trying to improve the ecomony of bangladesh by reducing the fuel demand but increasing tax on expensive cars with big engine will not solve the economical issue because those certain cars are used in special occasion, mostly in the weekend but i dont think anyone uses their expensive cars for daily use. many might disagree with this but do post your thoughts.

to sourov, duty mainly increased on vehicle over 3500CC so Most BMW Mercedes Sedans will be fine as most of them are under 3500cc. As for big suv's, the reason is not about saving fuel economy.

Any changes to the tax laws? does anyone have accurate information regarding import duty on cars now that the Cgovt has "stablelized" the country?? Also, does anyone know of any luxury cars/SUV's avaible for sale? I am a serious buyer and it would save me a hell of a lot of headache importing them myself.

as far i knw u wud need a importers license to import a car but i cud be wrong. its been same, didnt hear of any changes. i just hope that they take out ban out of recondition cars and extend it to 3000 CC. at the moment its either premio or allion, mazda and nissan bluebird is also starting to appear in the market.

i am hearing that ban on recondition cars over 1600cc could be lifted higher. hope that happens in this budget!

That will make me very very Happy if they even lift it up to 2.0.....my future purchase can be a lot lot cheaper in that way!!!! :) :) :) :)

i hope it goes upto 3.2l .. i would be the happiest man alive in that case...lol

3.2? New M3 is 4.0 and btw you can only bring cars from country of origin so you will get a Left hand drive from DE? LOL

how do you convert the steering from left to right@snkpkp 4 example hummer (just curious to know the where people does that)

[arbab]

if you're looking to buy newer model BMWs or sth in that range, then what's the use with having the ban on recon cars extended? like i understand if the tax bracket is widened u'd be saving hell lotta money, but exactly how will u benefit from THIS? maybe it will be a BIT cheaper, but u'll still be paying high taxes (minus depreciation ofcourse) right??

[goneheLL]

i meant 3.2 because of the e46... i love that car to bits! but yeah, i forgot about the import from country of origin thingi :(
