Toyota Motor Finance (China) Co Ltd offered rebates to encourage three dealers to have customers get loans from Toyota, rather than from local banks, between August 2008 and April 2010, it said.
The auto finance company illegally took in 426,352 yuan ($63,493) from 49 borrowers after business taxes, officials said.
The agency said it will confiscate all illegal earnings and impose a fine of 140,000 yuan.
