What is the current vehicle purchase tax rate?
2 Answers
Vehicle purchase tax is 10%. Additional information is as follows: 1. Materials required for purchase tax payment: Identity proof: Private ID card (temporary residence permit required for non-locals), organization code certificate, photocopies; Original and photocopy of vehicle qualification certificate; First and third copies of invoice; Purchase tax application form. 2. Calculation formula for taxable amount: Tax amount = taxable price × tax rate (if lower than the minimum taxable price issued by the State Taxation Administration, the minimum taxable price stipulated by the State Taxation Administration shall be used). Calculation for private vehicles: Additional costs × 10% (additional costs exclude VAT); Calculation for imported vehicles: Taxable price = customs duty-paid price + customs duty + consumption tax × 10%; Purchase tax is levied at 10% of the vehicle's selling price (excluding tax), with the formula: New vehicle purchase tax = vehicle price (including tax)/1.17*10%.
The purchase tax when buying a car can be quite a headache. I just changed my car last month and finally figured out that the current tax rate is 10%. Simply put, it's the car price multiplied by 0.1. For example, my new car cost 200,000, so the tax was 20,000, totaling a bit over 220,000. However, buying a new energy vehicle can really save you money, as there are many policy benefits, such as possible tax exemptions for pure electric vehicles. My friend bought a Tesla and saved a significant amount. The key is to check the latest announcements to avoid missing out on any reductions. Additionally, when paying the tax, make sure the invoice is clear and deal with reputable dealerships to avoid future disputes. Although the tax rate is fixed, don’t underestimate the total cost, including license plate fees and insurance. I recommend comparing different models before buying and not just looking at the base car price.
