Yeah, taxes are extreme here, and (Im not sure, but i think) we are the only country in the world to have taxes based on how big the engine is..

We could sell our 3 year old Lexus IS 220d and buy a new ISF in USA :lol: Kinda funny..

 

It's like that in HK as well. 115% tax for everything over 3 litres or something.

Over here we pay tax (stamp duty) when buying any vehicle (+ 2nd hand) of $8 for every $200 of the car sale price (of course 2nd-hand car sales report a smaller amount when transferring the registration to reduce this tax). New cars over $55,000 (or thereabouts) also attract a Luxury Car Tax.

You must have a lot of super rich people in Hong Kong then...

 

Considering that there are at least 6 Zondas here, yes. There was a F Coupé for sale a while back for 14m HKD (~1.8m USD). The 458's base price after tax here is 3.5m HKD (~450k USD)

It's all based on emissions here now, but cars that were made before that law came in are still subject to the old tax, I spoke to someone who drives a late version of the old shape ford ka and they pay more tax than I do for my Focus :D

God I'm gonna hate tax when I buy a Civic Type R though...

That is an insane amount of money for a 458

 

E: Something for Milli (Saw it tonight in the pits at the local speedway (dirt racing track) I was very surprised to see it. It's also the first on I have seen, these things are awesome in person,photos don't do them justice.)

Whoops, my bad, the 115% is for the first registration of the car, and it's based off the car's price before tax. Anything over 300k HKD is taxed 100%, 500k HKD taxed 115%. The engine size thing relates to the annual fee thing you have to pay. That's why in some of my pics you see cars with those weird hanging T-Plates, means they don't have to/haven't paid the 115% LOL

 

When you buy cars from abroad and import them are they still subject to the 115% tax? A lot of ex UK cars end up in Hong Kong.

 

Pretty sure you still have to pay the 115% if you want a proper license plate on it. I've heard it's cheaper overall, although I'd assume it wouldn't be by much.
