Can Vehicle Purchase Tax Be Paid in Another Location?
1 Answers
No, it cannot. According to the Vehicle Purchase Tax Collection and Administration Regulations, vehicle purchase tax must be paid at the tax authority in the vehicle's registration location. This means that the tax must be paid at the local State Tax Bureau where the license plate is registered. The vehicle purchase tax must be paid within 60 days from the date of purchase. The payment method involves bringing the owner's identification, vehicle price proof, and vehicle qualification certificate to the local competent State Tax Bureau for tax declaration. After purchasing a motor vehicle, compulsory traffic insurance must be paid first. This can be done directly at the 4S dealership or through an insurance company. Additionally, the 4S dealership must provide a temporary license plate. For vehicles purchased in another location but registered locally, as long as the vehicle has a formal invoice, qualification certificate, purchase tax, and compulsory traffic insurance, it can be registered. Before driving home with a temporary license plate, ensure that compulsory traffic insurance is in place and the temporary plate is obtained (note the validity period of the temporary plate). Otherwise, in the event of an accident, the insurance company may refuse to compensate, and traffic police may impose penalties for driving without a temporary plate. It is best to purchase insurance immediately after picking up the car to avoid scratches or accidents on the way home. Insurance can be bought either at the registration location or the purchase location.
