STEP. 1
CALCULATION OF THE COST OF MOTOR VEHICLE WITHOUT PROFIT
- P = CV*25%=CV*0.25=0.25CV
- CRP=CV+P
- CRP=CV+0.25CV
- CRP=1.25CV
- CRP/1.25=CV
STEP.2
CALCULATION TO OF PROFIT MARGIN
PM=CRP CV
STEP.3
CALCULATION OF CIF VALUE BEFORE DEPRECIATION
We remove the tax element from Cost Value
- VBD = CV/1.25/1.18 for vehicles with less than 1000cc
- VBD = CV/1.25/1.05/1.18 for vehicles with more than 1000cc but not exceeding 2000cc
- VBD = CV/1.25/1.05/1.18 for vehicles exceeding 2000cc

Depending age of the motor vehicle and basing on the given depreciation rates in the table above the depreciated value will be calculated as follows
DEPRECIATION VALUE = VBD * RATE
CALCULATION OF TAXES
a) Motor vehicles with Import duty and VAT only
- I/D = CIF * 25%
- VAT = (CIF+I/D) * 18%
b) Motor vehicles with Import duty and VAT but
aged more than 8 years
- I/D = CIF * 25%
- EXA = (CIF+I/D) * 20%
- VAT = (CIF+I/D+EXA) * 18%

Vehicles with more than 1000cc but not exceeding 2000cc rate is 5% Excise duty, and those with more than 2000cc rate is 10%

Swali ninalouliza ni which one is valid at this time. Aged more than 10 yrs or aged more than 8yrs. Kwenye website yao wenyewe TRA kuna contradiction angalia sehemu zinazooneshwa kwa rangi nyukundu. Voice of wisdom, eliakeem & others nielewesheni hapo. PM kashasema inarudi kwenye aged more than 10yrs, wameshaanza kutekeleza hilo agizo?
