Vehicle duty calculator Malawi

Follow these steps to calculate the vehicle duty in Malawi:

1. Determine the vehicle's engine capacity in cc (cubic centimeters). This information can usually be found on the vehicle's registration documents or by checking the vehicle's manual.
2. Find out the cost of the vehicle. This is the purchase price, including any taxes and shipping fees.
3. Determine the age of the vehicle. This is calculated from the year of manufacture to the year of importation into Malawi.

Formula to calculate the vehicle duty:

Vehicle Duty = (Engine Capacity x Cost x Age Factor) / 100

• Engine Capacity is in cc.
• Cost is in Malawi Kwacha (MWK).
• Age Factor is a percentage based on the age of the vehicle. The percentage decreases as the vehicle gets older.

Here are the age factors:

• New (less than 12 months old): 45%
• 1 to 2 years old: 40%
• 2 to 3 years old: 35%
• 3 to 4 years old: 30%
• 4 to 5 years old: 25%
• 5 to 6 years old: 20%
• 6 to 7 years old: 15%
• 7 to 8 years old: 10%
• 8 to 9 years old: 5%
