2 Answers
Before paying the purchase tax, the following materials need to be prepared: 1. Owner's identity proof: Mainland residents should provide an ID card, while residents from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and foreigners should provide entry permits and residence permits. Organizations should provide institutional code certificates. 2. Vehicle price proof: This is an important standard for levying purchase tax. Provide the "Unified Invoice for Motor Vehicle Sales". For imported vehicles, provide proof of customs duties and consumption tax. 3. Vehicle qualification proof: Additionally, provide other materials required by the tax authority. Other required materials are as follows: 1. For individual accounts: Original and photocopy of ID card (for both the owner and the agent). Original vehicle purchase tax payment application form. Original and photocopy of the motor vehicle qualification certificate. Photocopy of the first page of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales. Photocopy of the fourth page of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales. 2. For corporate accounts: Original and photocopy of the agent's ID card with the company seal. Photocopy of the business license with the company seal. Original vehicle purchase tax payment application form with the company seal. Original and photocopy of the motor vehicle qualification certificate. Original third page of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales. Photocopy of the first page of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales. Photocopy of the fourth page of the unified invoice for motor vehicle sales.
Last time I went to pay the vehicle purchase tax, I remembered to bring the original and copy of my ID card, the original blue copy of the new car invoice, the original vehicle certificate, and the vehicle registration certificate. The first time I didn’t understand and forgot the invoice copy, which made me go back and forth twice, wasting time. I suggest you make copies of all documents in advance, as copy shops often have long queues. The vehicle engine imprint strip is sometimes required, which can be done on-site at the DMV but may incur an extra fee. If you’re paying the vehicle and vessel tax, also bring a copy of the driving license and the compulsory insurance policy. It’s safest to put all these in a folder and carry it with you. The process is simple, but missing documents can be troublesome. It’s best to check the tax office’s phone number online and inquire about specific requirements beforehand to save trouble. Handle it as soon as possible after buying the car—don’t delay. And don’t forget to bring a bottle of water in hot weather, as the queue might be long.
