Is the Purchase Tax the Same for 1.5L and 2.0L Displacement?
2 Answers
The purchase tax for 1.5L and 2.0L displacement is not the same. According to the "Purchase Tax Law," the tax rate for vehicle purchase tax is clearly set at 10%. Calculation Method for Purchase Tax: As stipulated in the "Purchase Tax Law," the current vehicle purchase tax is levied at 10% of the vehicle's selling price (excluding tax). The value-added tax rate is 13%. The taxable price of the vehicle is the total amount actually paid by the buyer to the seller (i.e., the "price excluding tax" on the bottom line of the invoice), which does not include the value-added tax. Purchase Tax Calculation Formula: The payable amount of vehicle purchase tax = taxable price of the vehicle x tax rate.
I was also curious about this when I first bought a car. According to national regulations, the purchase tax is now uniformly 10% of the car's price, and this rate applies to both 1.5L and 2.0L vehicles. The difference lies in the car price itself—2.0L cars are usually much more expensive, so the actual tax paid will be several thousand yuan higher. I remember there used to be discounts for small-displacement cars before 2020, but that policy has been canceled. Last time I helped my cousin choose a car, the total price of a 1.5T Civic was nearly 50,000 yuan cheaper than a 2.0L Camry, saving over 4,000 yuan in purchase tax. However, it's important to remind you that the purchase tax is calculated based on the actual invoice price, not the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Any savings from bargaining will directly affect the tax amount.
