Can the name on a new car invoice be changed?
1 Answers
It is possible to change the name on a new car invoice after it has been issued, but this requires negotiation with the 4S dealership where the car was purchased. The process of altering the invoice is relatively cumbersome. If the vehicle is under a loan, changing the name can be particularly difficult, as the lending institution will need to re-evaluate whether the new loan subject meets the loan conditions. The process for a 4S dealership to reissue an invoice involves several steps: Once an invoice is issued, it indicates that the purchase tax has already been paid. Therefore, an application for a tax refund must be submitted to the local tax authority. This process first requires the 4S dealership to issue a vehicle return certificate and submit proof of tax payment. Next, the "Vehicle Purchase Tax Refund Application Form" must be completed and submitted to the tax bureau, which will process the application within 20 working days. The tax bureau will review all submitted documents and, upon approval, refund the vehicle purchase tax. Finally, the purchase tax process must be completed again, and a new purchase tax invoice must be issued.
