Taxes on domestically manufactured cars in Vietnam are a significant factor influencing the final vehicle price. Understanding these taxes and their calculation methods helps consumers make informed purchase decisions. This article provides detailed information on taxes applied to domestically produced cars, including types, calculation methods, and influencing factors.

Types of Taxes Applied to Domestically Manufactured Cars

Domestically manufactured cars in Vietnam are subject to the following taxes: Special Consumption Tax (SCT), Value Added Tax (VAT), and Registration Fee. Each tax is calculated based on different criteria and has varying rates.

Special Consumption Tax (SCT)

SCT is levied on luxury goods, including cars. The SCT rate for domestically manufactured cars depends on engine displacement. Cars with larger engine displacements incur higher SCT.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

VAT is levied on the value added to goods and services during production and distribution. The current VAT rate for cars is 10%.

Registration Fee

The registration fee is a mandatory charge when registering a new car. This fee varies depending on the locality.

Calculating Taxes on Domestically Manufactured Cars

Calculating taxes for domestically produced cars is complex and involves multiple factors. Here’s the formula for calculating the total car price including taxes:

• Price after tax = Ex-factory price + SCT + VAT (calculated on the price including SCT) + Registration Fee

Example: A car with an ex-factory price of 500 million VND, a 2.0L engine displacement, a 45% SCT rate, and a 10% registration fee (in Hanoi). The price after tax is calculated as follows:

• SCT = 500 million * 45% = 225 million
• Price after SCT = 500 million + 225 million = 725 million
• VAT = 725 million * 10% = 72.5 million
• Price after VAT = 725 million + 72.5 million = 797.5 million
• Registration Fee = 797.5 million * 10% = 79.75 million
• Price after tax = 797.5 million + 79.75 million = 877.25 million

Factors Influencing Taxes on Domestically Manufactured Cars
