Essential Guide to Vietnam Road Tax for Trucks

“A well-equipped truck makes a successful journey.” For truck drivers in Vietnam, a polished vehicle, complete documentation, and a valid road tax sticker are essential for a smooth and legal operation. This guide by XE TẢI HÀ NỘI provides a comprehensive overview of Vietnam’s road tax for trucks.

What is Vietnam Road Tax and Why is it Required?

Road tax in Vietnam, as the name suggests, is a fee paid by vehicle owners for the use of public roads for a specific period. Think of it as a monthly bus pass, but for your truck.

Why is displaying a road tax sticker mandatory?

• It’s the law. Driving without a valid road tax sticker will result in fines.
• Revenue generated from road tax funds road maintenance and upgrades, ensuring smoother journeys for all drivers.

Road Tax Categories and Fees for Trucks

Road tax fees vary based on factors like vehicle weight, seating capacity, and the chosen duration. For example, a Dongben X30 van with a load capacity of 870kg registered in Long Bien District will have a different annual fee compared to a 15-ton Hino truck registered in Gia Lam District.
