What does Xiaogong Pai mean?
2 Answers
Xiaogong Pai refers to the practice where non-locals in Nanjing purchase a car without local social insurance, and then register the vehicle under a small company license. Introduction to Xiaogong Pai: There is no difference between Xiaogong Pai and regular car license plates; both are for motor vehicles and require registration, inspection, and eventual scrapping when due. Currently, non-commercial vehicles do not have a mandatory scrapping period but must undergo regular inspections. Inspection: Motor vehicles should undergo safety technical inspections according to the following schedule from the date of registration: passenger vehicles for commercial use must be inspected once a year within the first 5 years; after 5 years, once every 6 months; trucks and large or medium-sized non-commercial passenger vehicles must be inspected once a year within the first 10 years; after 10 years, once every 6 months.
I often encounter issues related to small official license plates. Actually, small official license plates refer to the abbreviation for small company vehicles or official vehicles, which are lightweight vehicles registered by companies or government units for daily office use or business trips. These vehicles are usually sedans or compact SUVs, fuel-efficient and agile, making them very convenient for navigating through the city without taking up as much space as larger vehicles. I’ve also heard that purchasing such vehicles often comes with some tax benefits, such as more opportunities for tax deductions during company registration. If you're an entrepreneur, using them for business and market visits is quite cost-effective, with simple maintenance and easy parking. However, it's important to note that after long-term use, the wheel rims and brake pads tend to wear out faster, so regular inspections are key.
