Legal analysis: You can use credit cards, but when you hand in the deed tax, you will be prompted "No cash, only card business."

At the tax bureau, any bank card with the UnionPay logo can be used, and a credit card can also be used, but it must be in the name of the person who swipes the card. The "card swiper" is not limited to the buyer or seller himself.

Legal basis: Article 8 of the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Deed Tax"

When the tax liability for deed tax occurs, the taxpayer signs a land and house ownership transfer contract on the day on which the taxpayer obtains other contractual certificates for the transfer of land or house ownership.

Article 9 of the "Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Deed Tax"

Taxpayers shall, within 10 days from the date when the tax obligation arises, report to the deed tax collection authority where the land and house are located. Complete tax returns and pay taxes within the time limit approved by the deed tax collection authority.
