Would BMW care to comment?
Hold on a minute!
Luxury car tax has nothing to do with it. I paid $100,000 for my 135i, but only $7,895 of that was LCT!!
Even if you add LCT and GST, its still only a fraction more than VAT in the UK (17.5%).
The problem is two fold, firstly car manufacturers are criminally greedy and secondly Aussies don't understand their own tax system.
Maybe BMW could comment on why prices are so high in Australia or perhaps we should start a Facebook page to raise the issue publicly.
(Incidentally, the Holden payout wasn't to support the local industry, it was to stop Holden adding 10,000 people to the unemployment queue on Monday morning. The $275M deal is less than it would have cost Centrelink in benefit for those people for one year so its actually quite a smart initiative.)
