The functions of an automotive carbon canister are as follows: 1. There are two main purposes for installing a carbon canister in a car: one is environmental protection, and the other is energy saving. 2. Relying on the adsorption characteristics of activated carbon, the carbon canister stores excess fuel vapor from the fuel tank and reintroduces it into the engine for combustion when the engine is running. 3. To maintain a reasonable pressure range in the car's fuel tank. If the fuel tank pressure is too high, it may cause the fuel cap to become difficult to open, and in the event of a collision, it could be very dangerous. If the pressure is too low, some fuel vapor may evaporate, leading to waste—hence the need for a carbon canister. 4. The carbon canister prevents fuel vapor from being emitted into the air, avoiding gasoline waste, and also has a positive impact on environmental protection.

How to Calculate the Purchase Tax for Used Cars?

Vehicle purchase tax is calculated based on the ad valorem rate method. The calculation formula is: Taxable Amount = Taxable Price × Tax Rate. For example, if a consumer buys a domestic private car, the taxable price is the total payment made to the dealer plus any additional fees, excluding the value-added tax (VAT). First, deduct the 17% VAT, meaning the taxable price for vehicle purchase tax = invoice price ÷ 1.17. Then, apply the 10% tax rate to calculate the vehicle purchase tax.
