Anh Tuan, a grocery store owner in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, is contemplating purchasing a Hyundai H150 truck to expand his business. “I’m satisfied with the truck itself,” he shares, “but the vehicle registration tax is a bit of a headache. I’m not sure how to calculate it accurately.”

Anh Tuan’s concern is shared by many when buying a vehicle, especially a truck. So, how is vehicle registration tax calculated in Vietnam? Let’s delve into the details with Hanoi Trucks!

What is Vehicle Registration Tax?

Vehicle registration tax is a levy payable by motor vehicle owners upon their first vehicle registration in Vietnam.

Detailed Calculation of Vehicle Registration Tax

The formula for calculating vehicle registration tax is quite simple:

Vehicle Registration Tax = Taxable Vehicle Value x Tax Rate

However, to apply this formula, you need to consider two important factors:

1. Taxable Vehicle Value:

This is the value stated on the vehicle purchase invoice, excluding taxes and fees such as VAT, registration fees, and license plate fees.

Example: Anh Tuan purchases a Hyundai H150 truck from Hanoi Trucks dealership on Nguyen Van Cu Street, Long Bien, for a listed price of 500 million VND. This price includes VAT. Therefore, the taxable vehicle value for Anh Tuan will be less than 500 million VND.

2. Vehicle Registration Tax Rate:

The vehicle registration tax rate varies depending on the locality and vehicle type.

Example: In Hanoi, the vehicle registration tax rate for trucks is 2%.

Returning to Anh Tuan’s case, assuming that after deducting VAT, the taxable vehicle value is 450 million VND, the vehicle registration tax he must pay is:

450,000,000 x 2% = 9,000,000 VND

Frequently Asked Questions About Vehicle Registration Tax:

1. Do I Need to Pay Vehicle Registration Tax for a Used Truck?

Answer: No. Vehicle registration tax only applies to new vehicles being registered for the first time. When buying a used vehicle, you do not have to pay this tax. However, you need to be aware of the regulations regarding vehicle ownership transfer.

2. Where Do I Pay Vehicle Registration Tax?

Answer: You can pay vehicle registration tax at the tax department in your place of residence or at mobile tax collection points.
