According to statistics, in 2026, a total of 296,118 vehicles and a tax amount of 1.24609 billion yuan will be levied nationwide for the next period of license tax for commercial vehicles, a decrease of 0.46% and 0.97% respectively compared with 2025.

This was mainly due to the fact that the taxis were old and scrapped, the owners had changed their jobs, or their license plates had been canceled due to failure to inspect in accordance with regulations. The number of tax-exempt vehicles decreased.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance added that starting from July 2023, local tax collection agencies will provide household registration services using license plate tax payment notes (or long-term agreed transfer payment notices). People can apply to the local tax collection agency where the vehicle registration is located 2 months before the start of the tax collection to transfer all vehicles in the same county or city. Each household payment note is limited to 5 vehicle registrations. If the registration of vehicles that have been applied for household transfer has not transferred jurisdiction, they do not need to apply every year.
