No more registration fee for locally-made trailers starting from July 1

Transport Minister Anthony Loke on Wednesday announced that the Government will remove the Ad Valorem Registration Fee (AVRF) from locally-made trailers and semi-trailers starting from July 1 this year.

This will help locally-manufactured trailers to compete with imported rigs, as the AVRF that is charged on top of sales tax makes it more expensive than imported trailers.
