Vehicle and Vessel Tax Payment

Vehicle and Vessel Tax is declared annually and paid as a one-off payment. To enhance collection efficiency, a diversified system has been established, relying primarily on collection by insurance providers and supplemented by self-declaration with tax authorities, ensuring both comprehensive coverage and convenience in tax administration.

Collection by Insurance Providers (Mainstream Method)

For most private car owners, this is the most convenient payment route. 

Operating mechanism: Under statutory regulations, insurance providers offering Compulsory Motor Vehicle Third-Party Liability Insurance (Compulsory Traffic Insurance) serve as designated withholding agents. When car owners renew their annual compulsory insurance, the insurer calculates the tax payable for the year based on vehicle details, collects the Vehicle and Vessel Tax alongside the insurance premium upon policy issuance, and provides the official tax payment voucher together with the policy. 

Applicable scenarios: Applies to the vast majority of active vehicles requiring annual insurance renewals. 

Precautions: Upon receiving the insurance policy, car owners should verify the Vehicle and Vessel Tax breakdown to ensure the amount is properly included in the total premium and that the tax payment voucher details are clearly stated. If payment has been made but is not reflected on the policy, contact the insurance provider promptly for rectification.
