This article provides an overview of this tax, helping you avoid potential issues when buying or selling a used truck in Hanoi.

What is Used Vehicle Transfer Tax?

Used vehicle transfer tax is a fee the buyer pays to the government when transferring ownership of a vehicle to their name. This tax is calculated based on the vehicle’s value and the locality where the transfer is registered.

Why Pay Transfer Tax?

Paying the transfer tax ensures legal ownership for the new owner, providing peace of mind when driving and conducting future transactions related to the vehicle.

Current Used Vehicle Transfer Tax Rates

The used vehicle transfer tax is calculated using the following formula:

Transfer Tax = Vehicle Value x Tax Rate

Where:

• Vehicle Value: The value assessed by the tax authorities, often lower than the market value.
• Tax Rate: Set by the Ministry of Finance and varies by locality.

Example:

Mr. Minh buys a used truck at a dealership on Nguyen Van Linh Street, Long Bien District, Hanoi. The vehicle’s assessed value is 300 million VND. The tax rate in Hanoi is 2%. Therefore, Mr. Minh must pay the following transfer tax:

300,000,000 VND x 2% = 6,000,000 VND
