Core reading

Promote "one-stop" transaction registration services, encourage qualified sales companies, trading markets, etc. to set up motor vehicle registration service stations, provide "one-stop" services such as transactions, invoices, and registrations to reduce the burden on people to go back and forth.

In order to further improve the registration and registration management of second-hand car market entities and promote the standardized, orderly and healthy development of the second-hand car circulation market, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Public Security recently jointly issued the " Notice on Improving the Registration and Registration Management of second-hand car market entities and vehicle transactions " (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), and launched a series of new measures to facilitate the registration of second-hand car transactions to further reduce the registration costs of second-hand car transactions to better promote the car tiered consumption and the continued activity of the second-hand car market.

Strengthen collaborative department information sharing

Automobile is the "pillar" of the consumer market. With the continuous and rapid development of the automobile industry and the improvement of people's living standards year by year, my country has entered the ranks of the world's major automobile production and consumption countries. Data shows that my country's current car ownership exceeds 200 million, and the second-hand car market has huge potential.

At the end of May this year, the State Council issued the "H A Pack of Policy Measures to Solidly Stabilize the Economy" and proposed to efficiently coordinate epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development. 33 specific measures were introduced in six aspects, including the need to stably increase the consumption of , such as automobiles, home appliances, etc. . In July, the Ministry of Commerce and 17 other departments launched the "Notice on Several Measures to Revitalize Automobile Distribution and Expand Automobile Consumption" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice of 17 Departments"), and proposed a series of new policies to facilitate the commercial circulation of used cars.

In order to implement the spirit of the above policy documents, the "Notice" will focus on how to effectively increase the convenience of mass enterprises. This is first reflected in improving the filing of used car market entities and strengthening information sharing among collaborative departments.

According to the requirements of the "Notice", the provincial-level commercial authorities rely on the national automobile circulation information management application service system to do a good job in filing and management of market entities such as used car sales enterprises and used car trading markets in their jurisdiction, guide enterprises to truthfully fill in the company's name, address and place, and submit relevant business information in a timely, accurate and comprehensive manner as required, and improve the filing and management of second-hand car market entities. If the local commercial authorities complete the filing as required before September 20, 2022 (inclusive), the Ministry of Commerce will push the registered enterprise information to the Ministry of Public Security and other departments before October 1, 2022; if the subsequent filing is completed, the Ministry of Commerce will promptly push the registered enterprise information. The commerce department will timely share the filing information of used car market entities with the public security, taxation and other departments, creating conditions for relevant departments to implement reform measures that are convenient for the people and benefit enterprises.

In fact, these measures are also responses and implementation to the Notice of 17 Departments. The Notice of 17 Departments proposes to cancel unreasonable restrictions on the development of used car sales, and it is clear that enterprises whose registered address and business premises are outside the used car trading market can carry out used car sales business. For enterprises engaged in new car sales and used car sales, the business scope shall be uniformly registered as "auto sales" and the registration shall be made in accordance with relevant regulations. Starting from October 1, 2022, for registered car sales companies that purchase used cars from natural persons, enterprises will be allowed to issue a unified second-hand car sales invoice in reverse and go through the transfer registration procedures.

"The implementation of this new policy will accelerate the circulation of used cars among various regions and greatly promote market transaction volume." Vice President of of China Consumers Association and Director of the Institute of Commercial Law of Renmin University of China Professor Liu Junhai believes that improving the filing of used car market entities and strengthening information sharing among used car trading functional departments can greatly enhance the development and utilization of the surplus value of used cars, and help form a unified, standardized and efficient second-hand car market order in the country. For prospective owners who want to buy used cars, the price will be cheaper and the procedures will be simpler.

Convenient transfer registration processing program

Compared with the huge potential of the used car market, my country has a big gap in the activity of used car transactions and market expectations in recent years. The volume and convenience of used car transactions are still lagging behind those of developed countries. An important reason for

to cause these gaps is the various obstacles and restrictions in the circulation link of used car transactions. To this end, the "Notice" introduces the following measures:

regulates the registration and signing management of small passenger cars. The "Notice" proposes that when a registered sales enterprise handles the transfer registration of non-operating small and micro passenger cars (i.e., second-hand passenger cars) to be sold, the public security traffic management department will sign the words "Second-hand cars to be sold" on the motor vehicle registration certificate , driving license and the temporary driving license plate, which will facilitate accounting according to the " inventory goods " account. For second-hand passenger cars registered for off-site transactions, sign and sign the motor vehicle when transferring. If an unregistered sales enterprise or a registered sales enterprise applies for registration, the application will still be handled in accordance with the original regulations, and the motor vehicle license plate will be issued and no signing will be given.

facilitates the registration procedures for second-hand passenger car transfer. The "Notice" stipulates that for registered sales companies, if their business licenses and official seal images are registered in the application system, they can submit a copy of the business license stamped with the official seal when registering for the second-hand passenger car transfer, and there is no need to submit the original business license. For registered and sales enterprises, the public security traffic management department shall determine the motor vehicle license plate number, issue temporary driving license plates no more than 30 days, and no longer produce and issue motor vehicle license plates; for registered and sales enterprises that voluntarily apply for motor vehicle license plates, the processing shall be carried out in accordance with the original regulations.

In order to facilitate the public to check the vehicle status, the "Notice" requires relevant departments to provide "Traffic Management 12123" App car owner query and present vehicle mortgage registration information services to facilitate the confirmation of vehicle status in used car transactions and promote honest transactions and safe consumption of used cars.

The Notice also proposes to promote "one-stop" transaction registration services, encourage qualified sales companies, trading markets, etc. to set up motor vehicle registration service stations, and provide "one-stop" services such as transactions, invoices, and registrations to reduce the burden on people to go back and forth.

market is the most sensitive. According to the reporter's observation, as my country's automobile consumption market changes from an incremental market to an existing market, automobile replacement and used car transactions have become important engines to drive the increase in automobile consumption. At the same time, favorable policies such as the "National Five Relocation Limit" policy breaking the ice and the more convenient second-hand car transaction circulation have brought new development opportunities for the second-hand car market. According to statistics, the domestic used car transaction volume in 2021 was 17.5851 million, an increase of 22.62% over the same period last year. In recent weeks, the search volume of popular car sources on a domestic used car trading platform has increased by about 90%.

Strengthen supervision and management to ensure fairness

While accelerating the liquidity and activity of the used car market and lowering the market entry threshold, relevant market supervision must also follow suit to ensure the order and healthy development of the overall second-hand car circulation market.

"Notice" while promoting reforms to facilitate the people and benefit enterprises, it insists on combining regulation and regulation, paying equal attention to regulation, clarifying the registration requirements for second-hand car transactions, strengthening supervision and management, ensuring fairness and justice, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the people.

In order to strengthen the supervision of business behaviors of used cars, the "Notice" requires that all localities must strictly implement the relevant regulations of the state to completely cancel the policy of restricting second-hand cars from relocation, and shall not add inspections for illegally transferred second-hand cars. Sales companies and trading markets shall carefully check the relevant information and certificates of both parties to the transaction and the vehicle, carry out business activities strictly in accordance with the laws, regulations and rules related to the circulation of used cars, and issue used car transaction invoices.

Local commercial authorities should take effective measures to strengthen the intensity and frequency of law enforcement inspections of sales companies and trading markets, and investigate and punish illegal and irregular acts in accordance with the law. Local public security traffic management departments should strengthen supervision of motor vehicle registration service stations, and guide them to standardize and conveniently assist in handling registration business for those who meet the transfer registration conditions; at the same time, formulate regulations on the management of temporary driving license plates for used cars to be sold in light of local actual conditions, and strictly manage the issuance and use of temporary driving license plates.

Local business, public security and other departments should base themselves on the functions of their departments, strengthen coordinated supervision, and enterprises that fail to register, submit relevant transaction information, check the relevant information and vouchers of the transaction and vehicle, use temporary vehicle license plates, and apply for motor vehicle license plates, should deal with it in accordance with the law and regulations. The commercial authorities shall restrict it in the pilot demonstration and other work, and may use warnings, warnings, and interviews to deal with it; if the public security traffic management department handles transfer registration for illegal enterprises, they shall not sign and manage it separately, and shall not issue temporary vehicle license plates.

Liu Junhai analyzed that expanding consumption is an important ending point for opening up the economic cycle. In the large consumption market, automobile consumption accounts for more than one-tenth of the total retail sales of consumer goods in the entire society, accounting for more than 4% of GDP. This data is just automobile consumption, and it has not yet been counted as a series of upstream and downstream industries such as the aforementioned production and manufacturing. Therefore, activate the market for second-hand car circulation is of great significance. In addition to breaking through the barriers and restrictions on second-hand car transaction circulation, how to improve the market service level to promote the circulation of second-hand cars is also an issue that government authorities need to consider.

接本5接本新本6本 Luo Lei, deputy secretary-general of the China Automobile Dealer Association, believes that the implementation of the new policy will also promote the establishment of a more complete residual value evaluation system for the new energy used car market, which can not only effectively improve the sales status of "discount when reselling" new energy vehicles, but also enhance consumers' confidence in purchasing new energy vehicles. This will also drive the emergence of a number of used car dealer groups and the development of related service industries such as auto parts, maintenance, and insurance, which will play a positive role in optimizing my country's overall automobile market structure.
