Who should pay the car transfer tax?

According to the online economy report, according to the new method of tax collection, car tax must be paid before going to license plate exchange centers, and after paying it, the buyer and seller should go to exchange license plates. According to Colonel Ali Mohammadi, Naja traffic police are obliged to check that the car owners pay their transfer tax before the transfer.

According to the law, paying the car tax is the responsibility of the owner. In this context, Daud Manzoor, the head of the country’s tax affairs organization, said: “The car transfer tax will remain the responsibility of the seller if it is not paid, and the seller is considered a tax debtor.” But according to the head of the traffic police numbering and license plate replacement center, the numbering will not be done if the vehicle tax is not paid.

To pay the car tax, the seller must refer to the car transfer tax internet system cartransfer.tax.gov.ir.
