Calculating Used Car Taxes in Vietnam: A Comprehensive Guide

“Those who know, speak; those who don’t, lean against a pillar and listen!” – This old Vietnamese proverb still holds true, especially when it comes to buying used cars. My cautious friend, upon deciding to purchase a 2018 Kia Frontier for his family, found himself struggling with the paperwork and procedures, particularly the taxes. Hearing his woes, I recommended he visit Xe Tải Hà Nội on Nguyen Van Linh Street, Long Bien District. It’s my go-to dealership for vehicle advice.

How to Calculate Used Car Taxes Accurately

1. Types of Used Car Taxes

Before diving into calculations, understand the two main taxes when buying a used car:

• Registration Tax: A mandatory tax when registering car ownership. It’s based on the vehicle’s value and the registration location.
• Ownership Transfer Fee: Applies when changing the car’s ownership.

2. Calculating Registration Tax for Used Cars

General Formula:

Registration Tax = Taxable Vehicle Value x Registration Tax Rate

Where:

• Taxable Vehicle Value is usually a percentage of the invoice value. Depending on the vehicle type (seating capacity, year of manufacture) and location, this ranges from 60% to 100%.
• Registration Tax Rate varies by province. For example, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City apply a 2% rate, while other provinces apply a 10% rate.

Example:

My friend bought a 2018 Kia Frontier for 300 million VND in Hanoi. His registration tax calculation is as follows:

• Taxable Vehicle Value: 300 million x 70% = 210 million VND
• Registration Tax: 210 million x 2% = 4.2 million VND
