Where to Pay the Purchase Tax When Buying a Car at a 4S Store?
2 Answers
When buying a car at a 4S store, the purchase tax must be paid at the vehicle management office or through the 4S store as an agent. Below is an introduction to the purchase tax: 1. Introduction: The vehicle purchase tax is a tax levied on units and individuals who purchase specified vehicles within China. It evolved from the vehicle purchase surcharge and was implemented on January 1, 2001, in accordance with the "People's Republic of China Vehicle Purchase Tax Law." 2. Calculation Formula: The taxable amount is calculated as: Taxable Amount = Taxable Price × Tax Rate. 3. Characteristics: As a property tax, the vehicle purchase tax is levied on specific vehicles purchased, rather than on all property or consumer goods, making it a narrow-range special property tax.
Last week, I just helped my nephew with the vehicle purchase tax. When buying the car, the salesperson explained it clearly to me that the purchase tax has to be paid at the tax department yourself, and the 4S shop only helps organize the materials. You need to bring the car purchase invoice, vehicle qualification certificate, ID card, and other documents to the local tax bureau's vehicle purchase tax collection window. In some places, you can also handle it at the special window of the vehicle management office in the government service hall. What's more convenient now is that many cities have opened online tax payment. We paid with a bank card on the official website of the electronic tax bureau, and it took only twenty minutes to complete. Remember to ask the 4S shop to print a copy of the tax payment certificate, which is required for handling the license plate at the vehicle management office.
