03 Case Analysis

Question: Xiao Li plans to buy a new energy passenger car in 2024. He has chosen two models that meet the conditions. One of the cars is priced at 250,000 yuan before tax, and the other is priced at 400,000 yuan before tax. Which vehicle How much is the purchase tax?

Analysis: According to the "Announcement on Continuing and Optimizing the Purchase Tax Reduction and Reduction Policy for New Energy Vehicles" (Announcement No. 10 of 2023 of the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), for vehicles with purchase dates between January 1, 2024 and New energy vehicles during the period of December 31, 2025 are exempt from vehicle purchase tax, of which the tax exemption for each new energy passenger vehicle shall not exceed 30,000 yuan.

If you purchase a vehicle worth 250,000 yuan, the calculation is: 25*10%=25,000 yuan (not exceeding 30,000 yuan), so this vehicle is exempt from vehicle purchase tax.

If you purchase a vehicle worth 400,000 yuan, the calculation is: 40*10%=40,000 yuan (more than 30,000 yuan). Therefore, the vehicle purchase tax required for this vehicle is: 4-3=10,000 yuan.
