You cannot change the inspection location if your vehicle fails the inspection. According to regulations, if a vehicle fails the inspection at a designated inspection point, it is not allowed to switch to another inspection point. The vehicle must be rectified according to the requirements of the inspection line and then return to the same inspection point for re-inspection until it passes. Below are some relevant details: 1. Regarding fees, the inspection station charges for the inspection service, not as a guarantee to pass. Regardless of whether the vehicle passes or not, the inspection station has invested corresponding manpower and resources once the vehicle undergoes inspection. The fee is charged for the service provided, and if the vehicle fails, it is due to the vehicle's own issues, not the inspection station's fault. Therefore, the inspection fee is non-refundable if the vehicle fails. 2. If you have paid the fee but no inspection was conducted, the inspection station must refund the money. If they refuse, you can file a complaint with the relevant authorities. In some cases, the inspection station may refund part of the fee out of goodwill if the vehicle fails. If you find that the inspection station is charging fees improperly, you can report it to the Price Bureau and request a refund from the involved inspection station.

When dealing with vehicle inspection issues, I found that if your car fails the inspection, you can't simply go to another place for a re-inspection because all inspection stations are now connected online. A single failure record is directly saved in the system. You must fix the car first! For example, if the lights are non-compliant or there are brake issues, find a reliable repair shop to address the problems, then schedule a re-inspection at an inspection station—either the original one or another, with similar costs and efficiency. Last time, my car failed due to excessive emissions, but after fixing the exhaust pipe, it passed smoothly. Remember not to delay, or you might face fines or insurance issues. Addressing issues promptly makes your car safer and can save you some money!

At what level of tire aging must replacement be done?

Tires must be replaced when they develop numerous fine cracks or when the tread wear indicator reaches a height of 1.6 millimeters, as continued driving under such conditions poses safety risks. The fine cracks on tires are commonly referred to as tire cracking. The presence of cracking not only affects the comfort level of the tire but also significantly reduces its grip performance. When such cracks appear, the tire should be replaced promptly. Generally, every car tire is equipped with a tread wear indicator, with a standard height of 2.4 millimeters. The minimum tread wear indicator height is 1.6 millimeters, and when the wear reaches this level, it indicates that the tire should be replaced immediately.

What Taxes and Fees Are Required When Purchasing a Car?

The taxes and fees required when purchasing a car differ between domestically produced and imported vehicles. For domestically produced or joint-venture new cars, the taxes include Value-Added Tax (VAT), Consumption Tax, Vehicle Purchase Tax, and Vehicle and Vessel Usage Tax. For imported cars, the taxes include a 15% import tariff, 13% VAT, and Import Car Consumption Tax. Detailed explanations of the taxes for domestically produced and joint-venture new cars are as follows: Purchase Tax: The current VAT rate is 13%, and the purchase tax rate is 10%. The formula for calculating Vehicle Purchase Tax is: Taxable Amount = Taxable Vehicle's Taxable Price × Tax Rate. Based on the "Total Amount Including Tax" on the invoice: Purchase Tax = Total Amount Including Tax ÷ 1.13 × 10% (current car VAT rate is 13%). Based on the "Tax-Exclusive Price" on the invoice: Purchase Tax = Tax-Exclusive Price × 10%. Vehicle and Vessel Tax: Since this is a local tax, the price varies by region. Detailed explanations of the taxes for imported cars are as follows: 15% Import Tariff: According to the Ministry of Finance, starting from July 1, 2018, import tariffs on complete vehicles and auto parts were reduced. The tariff rates for 135 vehicle categories (previously 25%) and 4 categories (previously 20%) were lowered to 15%. The tariff rates for 79 auto parts categories (previously 8%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%) were reduced to 6%. Thus, the current import tariff rate for cars is 15%. 13% VAT: The original VAT rate for cars in China was 17%, which was reduced to 16% in 2018. From April 1, 2019, it was further reduced to 13%, and this rate is still used for calculating VAT on vehicles. Import Car Consumption Tax: The rates vary by engine displacement: 1% for ≤1.0L, 3% for 1.0L–1.5L (inclusive), 5% for 1.5L–2.0L (inclusive), 9% for 2.0L–2.5L (inclusive), 12% for 2.5L–3.0L (inclusive), 25% for 3.0L–4.0L (inclusive), and 40% for >4.0L. Import Car Tax Calculation Formulas: Tariff = Duty-Paid Price × Tariff Rate; Consumption Tax = (Duty-Paid Price + Actual Tariff) / (1 - Consumption Tax Rate) × Consumption Tax Rate; VAT = (Duty-Paid Price + Tariff + Consumption Tax) × VAT Rate. The total tax payable is the sum of these three taxes: Car Import Tax = Basic Tariff (15%) + Consumption Tax (3%–40%) + VAT (13%).
