Inner Mongolia autonomous region has issued an announcement detailing its 2026 vehicle trade-in subsidy program, specifying deadlines for subsidy applications and document submissions, to ensure smooth implementation of the vehicle trade-in policy.

Applicants must submit subsidy applications by midnight on Jan 10, 2027. If the annual subsidy funds are exhausted earlier, the application process will end. Applicants needing to amend or supplement their submissions must do so by midnight on Jan 20, 2027. Late submissions or amendments will not be eligible for subsidies.

The announcement also sets specific timeframes for the required documentation. For those applying for the vehicle scrappage subsidy, documents such as the "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", "Vehicle Deregistration Certificate", "Unified Vehicle Sales Invoice", and "Vehicle Registration Certificate" must be dated between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2026.

Applicants for the vehicle replacement subsidy must ensure that the sales invoices for both used and new cars, the transfer registration date of the old vehicle, and the registration date of the new vehicle all fall within the same 2026 timeframe.

This policy aligns with the Ministry of Commerce's directives on consumer goods trade-ins and is tailored to local automotive consumption patterns. Eligible consumers are advised to pay attention to these deadlines and complete their applications promptly.
