Car Registration Fees in Vietnam: A Comprehensive Guide

My friend, after years of saving, finally realized his dream of owning a truck for his business. He named it “Tai Loc,” hoping it would bring him luck and success. But when preparing the registration paperwork, he struggled with the car registration fee. “What is it? How is it calculated?” – these questions kept swirling around him.

His story is a common concern for many car buyers in Vietnam, especially first-time buyers. Let’s explore the details of calculating car registration fees in this article!

What is the Car Registration Fee? Why Pay It?

The car registration fee is a mandatory payment for all motor vehicle owners when registering their ownership for the first time in Vietnam. Simply put, it’s like a “tax” you pay to the government to legally own your vehicle.

Why pay it? This fee contributes to the state budget, funding transportation infrastructure development, ensuring public order and safety, and supporting other public services.

Calculating Car Registration Fees: A Detailed Guide

1. New Cars

The registration fee for new cars is calculated as a percentage of the car’s value multiplied by the car’s value.

Where:

• Percentage: Varies by locality, typically 10% in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and 2% in other provinces.
• Car Value: The actual selling price, including VAT, agreed upon by the buyer and seller.

Example: My friend bought his “Tai Loc” truck in Hanoi for 500 million VND. His registration fee is: 10% x 500,000,000 = 50,000,000 VND.

2. Used Cars

The registration fee for used cars is based on the car’s value at the time of ownership transfer, often lower than the original price.

Note: The fee for used cars can vary depending on the locality and vehicle type.

Many Vietnamese believe choosing an auspicious date and time, considering astrological compatibility when buying a car, will bring good luck and prosperity. Choosing a lucky license plate number is also common, with the hope that “four identical numbers” or “prosperity and fortune” numbers will attract wealth.

However, these are just folk beliefs. The most important factor is choosing a car that meets your needs and budget.
