Do I Need to Pay Purchase Tax When Buying a Used Car?

[LeManuel]

If the original owner has paid the purchase tax, then the used car you buy does not need to pay it again. If the purchase tax was not paid when the car was new, then after the used car transaction, the new owner of the car needs to pay the remaining purchase tax. Relevant information is as follows: 1. The purchase tax for a car only needs to be paid once, usually when the car is new, but the original owner must provide a complete proof of purchase tax payment. With the tax payment proof, you do not need to pay the purchase tax when buying a used car. 2. If the purchase tax payment certificate is lost, it can be resolved by the original owner applying for a replacement. If it is a tax-exempt vehicle, the vehicle purchase tax must be paid in accordance with the relevant provisions of the national 'Interim Regulations on Vehicle Purchase Tax'.
