Especially when it’s an imported car, bringing with it a whole “world of modern technology.” But before enjoying that joy, let’s explore the “car import tax policy” – an important factor that directly affects the price of the vehicle.

Let Xe Tai Ha Noi “unveil the secret” and equip you with the necessary knowledge to confidently “bring home” the car you desire!

Decoding Vietnam’s Car Import Tax Policy:

What is Car Import Tax?

Simply put, this is the tax you must pay to the Vietnamese government when importing a car from abroad. This tax rate depends on many factors, such as:

  • Vehicle Type: Passenger car, truck, specialized vehicle, etc.
  • Origin: Japan, South Korea, or ASEAN countries, etc.
  • Engine Displacement: Under 1.5L, from 1.5L to 3.0L, or over 3.0L…

What are the Current Car Import Tax Rates?

To help you visualize, Xe Tai Ha Noi would like to give a specific example:

  • For completely built-up cars (CBU) originating from ASEAN countries (such as Thailand, Indonesia, etc.), the import tax for passenger cars with 9 seats or less is currently 0%.
  • For CBU cars imported from other countries and territories, the applied import tax rate is 70%…

Example: Mr. Minh in Cau Giay district wants to buy a Hyundai truck imported from South Korea. The vehicle price in South Korea is 500 million VND. The import tax Mr. Minh has to pay is 70% x 500 million = 350 million VND.

In addition to import tax, Mr. Minh also has to pay other taxes and fees such as special consumption tax, value-added tax, registration fees…
