China’s used-car dealers asked the government for a tax cut as a sales slump continues in the world’s largest auto market.
The China Automobile Dealers Association asked the finance ministry to charge the 2% value-added tax only on the difference between a used car’s selling price and a dealer’s purchase cost, the Beijing-based group said in a proposal dated June 14 and sent to media Monday. Currently, dealers are taxed on the total selling price.
