Is Purchase Tax Required for Second-hand Car Transfer?
1 Answers
No additional vehicle purchase tax is required for the transfer of a second-hand car. The main reason is that the vehicle purchase tax follows a one-time collection system, which should be completed when the original owner purchases the vehicle. Therefore, during the transfer of a second-hand car, the new owner only needs to request the tax payment certificate from the original owner. Here are some additional details: 1. The vehicle purchase tax is collected once: Once the vehicle purchase tax has been paid for a vehicle, it will not be levied again. 2. The vehicle purchase tax is collected by the State Taxation Administration: The tax must be paid in full at once. The taxpayer must present the tax payment certificate or tax exemption certificate issued by the competent tax authority to the vehicle management agency of the public security bureau for vehicle registration. Without the tax payment certificate or tax exemption certificate, the vehicle management agency will not process the vehicle registration. 3. When purchasing a second-hand car, the buyer should request the tax payment certificate from the original owner: The tax payment certificate consists of an original and a duplicate, issued per vehicle, with one certificate per vehicle. The original is kept by the owner, and the duplicate is used for vehicle registration.
