How often is the vehicle and vessel tax paid?
2 Answers
According to the new regulations, the payment of vehicle and vessel tax is collected by insurance institutions, once a year, and must be paid in full at one time. The scope of vehicle and vessel tax collection includes the following aspects: Motor vehicles and vessels that should be registered with the vehicle and vessel management department in accordance with the law; Motor vehicles and vessels that do not need to be registered with the vehicle and vessel management department in accordance with the law but operate or work within the premises of a unit. Vessels include motorized vessels and non-motorized vessels. Motorized vessels refer to those that rely on fuel or other energy sources as power, such as passenger ships, cargo ships, hovercrafts, etc.; non-motorized vessels refer to those that rely on human or other forces, such as wooden boats, sailboats, etc. The following aspects should be noted when paying vehicle and vessel tax: If the basic information of the vehicle is changed, the vehicle operation tax needs to be verified or adjusted, or if applying for tax reduction or exemption for the vehicle; Taxpayers who fail to pay the vehicle and vessel operation tax on time must first go to the local tax authority in charge of the county (district) where the vehicle is registered to complete relevant procedures before making the payment.
The vehicle and vessel tax must be paid annually, and this rule has been in place since the purchase of the car. In the first few years of owning a car, I often forgot to pay until one time when I was stopped during a vehicle inspection and learned that it was unacceptable not to pay. Usually, it's settled at the beginning of the year or when buying insurance, with the insurance company collecting it on your behalf being the most convenient. If delayed for too long, the late payment penalty can be quite severe and may even affect your ability to drive the following year. Considering that the tax is used for road construction and transportation, which makes our own driving smoother, why not pay it? It's advisable to set a reminder on your phone calendar to avoid last-minute rushes every time. In fact, just putting in a little effort once a year can keep your vehicle legal and compliant, saving you a lot of trouble.
