In a related story, as the new luxury tax bill will very likely take effect as early as next July, buyers of expensive cars have been speeding up their order process to avoid an extra 10% tax. As a result, nearly 1300 high-end vehicles recently arrived at the Taichung harbor to be handed to their future owners ahead of schedule.

1,300 luxury cars arrived Taichung harbor, just months before the implementation of the planned luxury tax. The total value of those cars are over NT$ 4.2 billion, among them, the most expansive ones are the 39 Porches, which were custom made to order. The four door sports sedan of 3,605 c.c. are worth NT$4.2 million, the turbo models are worth NT$9 million.

those who purchased these cars are glad to save 10% of luxury tax before July.

This year, Taichung has seen more imported cars.

As the impementation of luxury tax is taking place soon, many car dealers are promising delivery within two weeks after orders are placed, trying to sell as many cars as possible incase the new luxury tax might influence the sales in second half of the year
