What is the vehicle purchase tax rate?

The vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%. Here is an introduction to the vehicle purchase tax: 1. Introduction: Vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within the territory, evolving from the vehicle purchase surcharge. The vehicle purchase tax is ad valorem based on the taxable price of the vehicle purchased by the taxpayer, using price as the tax standard, where taxation is directly related to value—higher value results in more tax, and lower value results in less tax. 2. Characteristics: The vehicle purchase tax is levied at a single uniform rate, with the characteristic that the rate does not change with the amount of the taxable object. It is simple to calculate and stable in burden, which is conducive to tax administration according to law. The vehicle purchase tax is levied only once, specifically when the vehicle exits circulation and enters the consumption field.
I often encounter this issue when helping out at my friend's car dealership. The vehicle purchase tax rate is fixed at 10%, which means 10% of the invoice price. For example, if the car costs 200,000 yuan, the tax would be 20,000 yuan. I remember last time when I helped with accounting for a newly purchased SUV with an invoice price of 180,000 yuan, multiplying it by 0.1 directly gave a tax of 18,000 yuan. However, it's important to note that you can't arbitrarily lower the invoice price to reduce tax, as the tax authorities will cause big trouble if they investigate. The total car price includes tax, so budget planning should be done in advance. There are some discounts for new energy vehicles, but policies are changing, so it's advisable to visit a 4S store to ask for details. Don't think that small-displacement cars can avoid taxes—any licensed vehicle must pay. If you miscalculate, the year-end tax refund process can be quite troublesome, so it's best to consult a knowledgeable friend. The vehicle purchase tax is money collected by the state for purposes like road maintenance, but it takes a significant chunk out of your wallet. I always remind everyone to save some extra funds to cover the tax.
