On July 7, the National New Office held a routine briefing of the policy of stabilizing the State Council of the Automobile Consumption. Xu Xingfeng said that this measure plays an important role in promoting the professionalization, large -scale, and standardized development of second -hand car circulation. First of all, this policy meets the needs of second -hand car circulation and the industry's demands. According to the current regulations, it is tax -exempt that individuals sell second -hand cars without paying valuable taxes. The sales company's sales of second -hand cars shall levy VAT in accordance with a certain percentage of sales. To this end, some used car distribution companies carried out second -hand car distribution business in the name of a broker, and hung the distribution vehicle under personal nominal items for transactions, which generated the phenomenon of personal "back portals". At present, the circulation of used cars in my country is mainly based on "brokers+individuals", which has led to the "small scattered weakness" status of the industry and a negative impact on society, causing unfair competition. The confidence of consumption has become a disadvantage of the industry. The industry has called for effective policies to make effective norms on this phenomenon.

At the same time, this measure also borrows the experience and practices of the international mature automobile market. "During the introduction of the document, we fully investigated the management of second -hand car circulation in developed countries because their car ownership was higher than us. We have more than 200 people in our thousands of people. They 500, 600 or even 900 vehicles. Very common, there are many mature experiences and practices. "Xu Xingfeng said, for example, individuals are identified as second -hand car dealers who have sold used cars in a certain period of time. To pay taxes in accordance with the law, to the next distribution company, to show consumers clearly, and to bear the responsibility of quality assurance.

In response to whether this measure will affect the normal car sales behavior of the majority of car owners, Xu Xingfeng said that the starting point of the measure is to eliminate the phenomenon of personal "back portals". China's vehicle ownership has exceeded 300 million. Among the 215 million car owners, about 2 million car owners have more than 3 and more cars. "We have conducted in -depth research. Among these 2 million car owners, the proportion of vehicles with a sales holding time of less than one year is more than three vehicles. It is minimal. Therefore, it will not affect the normal car sales behavior of the individual. "In addition, this measure also reserves a half -year transition period to reasonably guide market expectations and ensure that the policy of smoothing policies has reserved sufficient time.
