Is There a Purchase Tax on Used Cars?
1 Answers
Used cars do not require payment of purchase tax. However, if the purchase tax was not paid when the car was new, the new owner will need to pay the outstanding purchase tax after purchasing the used car. It is important to note that if the used car is a tax-exempt vehicle, according to relevant national regulations, a tax-exempt vehicle used for more than ten years does not require back taxes to be paid. But if the tax-exempt vehicle to be purchased has been used for less than ten years, the buyer should consider whether they are willing to pay the back taxes. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Payment of purchase tax: A car only needs to pay the purchase tax once, usually when it is purchased new. 2. Check payment records: When buying a used car, you should check whether the vehicle has a purchase tax payment record. If not, clarify with the original owner whether it was lost or if the car is tax-exempt. If the purchase tax payment record was lost, the original owner can apply for a replacement. If the car is tax-exempt, consider that national regulations state that a tax-exempt vehicle used for more than ten years does not require back taxes to be paid. However, if the tax-exempt vehicle to be purchased has been used for less than ten years, the buyer should consider whether they are willing to pay the back taxes.
