1. What is Used Car Transfer Tax?

Used car transfer tax is a fee that the new owner must pay to the government when transferring ownership of the vehicle. This tax is calculated based on the vehicle’s value and the locality of registration.

2. How to Calculate Used Car Transfer Tax

Formula for calculating used car transfer tax:

Transfer Tax = Vehicle Value for Tax Calculation x Tax Rate

Where:

  • Vehicle Value for Tax Calculation: Determined by the tax authority at the place of registration based on the sales invoice and the minimum price stipulated by the Ministry of Finance.
  • Tax Rate:
    • Cars with less than 9 seats: 2% (Hanoi & Ho Chi Minh City).
    • Other provinces: 2% for vehicles with engine displacement under 1,500cc, 5% for vehicles with engine displacement over 1,500cc.

Example: Mr. Minh in Cau Giay District, Hanoi wants to buy a used Hyundai H100 truck from someone in Thanh Xuan District. The vehicle value for tax calculation determined by the tax authority is 200 million VND. Therefore, Mr. Minh will have to pay the following transfer tax amount: 200,000,000 x 2% = 4,000,000 VND.

Note:

  • In addition to the transfer tax, the new owner also has to pay other fees such as registration fees, civil liability insurance, etc.
  • The tax rate may change from time to time.
