Frequently Asked Questions

• Lawyer Nguyen Minh: “According to the Law on Personal Income Tax 2008, car donations are not subject to personal income tax.

2. Does a donated car require a new inspection?

• Traffic Safety Expert John Smith: “Donated cars must still comply with vehicle inspection regulations. If the car’s inspection has expired, the recipient must have it inspected before operating it on the road.”

3. Can the donor request the return of the donated car?

• Legal Expert Jessica Brown: “A donation contract is a unilateral contract; the donor cannot demand the return of the donated car unless the contract stipulates conditions for its return.”
