To encourage the public to buy new cars, the Ministry of Finance amended the Regulations for Used Automobiles. From July 6, 2016, anyone who inherits a used car will be entitled to the sales tax return indicated above when buying a new car if such heir and the decedent had added up to own the used car for more than one year. The above preference will be extended for 3 months after the deadline for applying for the tax return.
