What are the methods for managing motor vehicle invoices?

Here are the methods for managing motor vehicle invoices: 1. "Measures for the Use of Motor Vehicle Invoices": The State Taxation Administration, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the Ministry of Public Security jointly formulated the "Measures for the Use of Motor Vehicle Invoices" to standardize the use of invoices in the entire process of production, wholesale, and retail of motorcycles and electric motorcycles, provide convenient invoicing services for taxpayers, facilitate consumers' use of motor vehicle invoices, protect the legitimate rights and interests of law-abiding taxpayers and consumers, and create a fair, just, and orderly business environment, which has a positive and far-reaching impact. 2. Applicable situations of the "Measures": The "Measures" apply to situations where units and individuals sell motor vehicles (excluding used vehicles) and issue value-added tax special invoices or unified motor vehicle sales invoices. Motor vehicle invoices refer to value-added tax special invoices and unified motor vehicle sales invoices issued by units and individuals when selling motor vehicles through the invoicing module of the value-added tax invoice management system. In addition, it should be noted that sales of other goods that do not belong to motor vehicles should not issue motor vehicle invoices and are not subject to the provisions of these measures.

I'm most concerned about the invoice when buying a car. After the dealer issues the invoice, I make several copies, store the original in a safe, and keep scanned copies on my phone. When registering the license plate, the original must be submitted to the DMV for vehicle information verification; otherwise, registration is impossible. The invoice also affects insurance claims—last time I had an accident, the insurance company required a copy of the invoice to verify the car's value before paying out. When selling the car in the future, buyers will also check the invoice to confirm the legality of the source and avoid purchasing a stolen vehicle. I’m extra careful not to lose the invoice because getting a replacement requires contacting the original seller, which takes over a week, involves a tedious process, and may incur additional fees. Managing the invoice properly saves a lot of hassle, so I recommend new car owners develop habits like regular checks and electronic backups.
