Consumers purchasing motorcycles with an engine displacement of ≤150cc are no longer required to pay the 10% vehicle purchase tax. The "Purchase Tax Law" clearly stipulates that motorcycles with an engine displacement of ≤150cc are exempt from purchase tax, meaning consumers buying such motorcycles do not need to pay the 10% vehicle purchase tax, thereby reducing the financial burden on ordinary consumers. Below is some extended information about the purchase tax: 1. What is purchase tax: Purchase tax is a tax levied by tax authorities on the acquisition of specified goods and properties within the scope of the purchase tax system, such as vehicle purchase tax.
