What is the Vehicle Purchase Tax Payment Certificate?
2 Answers
Vehicle Purchase Tax Payment Certificate is a document issued by the tax authority after the taxpayer has paid the vehicle purchase tax. Its purpose is to serve as proof of the taxpayer's payment of the vehicle purchase tax and as the primary basis for the vehicle management department to process vehicle license plates. According to policy regulations, taxpayers must present this certificate to the vehicle registration authority of the public security bureau to complete vehicle registration procedures. Without the payment certificate, the vehicle registration authority of the public security bureau cannot process the vehicle registration. The Vehicle Purchase Tax Payment Certificate consists of an original and a duplicate, with main contents including: certificate number, taxpayer (owner) name, vehicle brand and model, engine number, chassis number (or vehicle identification code), license plate number, tax payment (or exemption), name of the tax collection authority, and signature of the handling officer.
The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate is a document issued by the tax authority after you buy a car, proving that you have paid the purchase tax in accordance with regulations. This tax is calculated based on the price of the car at the time of purchase, usually at a rate of around 10%. I often help people handle these matters and find that many new car owners don't understand its importance: it must be used as proof when registering the vehicle, otherwise the car cannot be legally registered at the DMV. When buying a car at a 4S dealership, they usually assist with tax payment, and then you should keep the certificate safe and not lose it. Reissuing it requires a trip to the tax office, which can be quite troublesome. Additionally, this certificate also helps prevent tax evasion on vehicles, making the market fairer. From purchasing the car to obtaining the certificate, it usually takes just a few days, and keeping it safe makes future annual inspections more convenient.
