- Used car dealers must follow tax regulations when purchasing from individuals to claim input tax credits.
- Dealers should use contracts or other documents as input vouchers when official invoices are unavailable.
- Input tax is calculated based on purchase cost and compared to sales tax for each vehicle.
- Dealers must submit a detailed input voucher list with tax filings and keep records for audits.
- Example: A dealer bought a car for 315,000, calculated input tax as 15,000, sold it for 420,000, and claimed the full input tax.
- Another car bought for 210,000 had an input tax of 10,000, sold for 168,000, and only 8,000 could be claimed.
- Dealers are reminded to adhere to these rules to avoid penalties.
