Road tax cut for Sabah and Sarawak too

PETALING JAYA: The RM200 reduction in road tax will also be applicable for jeeps and pick-ups with engine capacity above 3,000cc in Sabah and Sarawak.

This follows the Prime Minister’s announcement to extend the petrol and diesel subsidy cash rebate to owners of private vehicles up to 3,000cc in the interior areas of Sabah and Sarawak.

According to a press release by the Road Transport Department (JPJ), owners of these vehicles who have renewed their road tax according to the old rates can apply for refunds beginning July 1.

It said those who had renewed their road tax since June 1 could claim the difference between the old rate and the new rate at the nearest JPJ office or branch.

They will have to provide copies of their bank book, IC or IC of their representatives and fill the application form (JPJ K6 form), which can be obtained from JPJ offices or downloaded from its website (www.jpj.gov.my).

The refunds will be credited to their bank account.
