Mr. Ba, a hardworking farmer from Bac Ninh province, always dreamed of owning a truck to transport agricultural products and expand his business. After years of saving, he decided to purchase a new Hyundai HD120S at the Hyundai Truong Chinh dealership. However, when researching the taxes and fees, he was unsure about the vehicle registration tax, how it’s calculated, and how much to prepare.

Mr. Ba’s story is a common concern for many truck buyers. Let’s decipher the vehicle registration tax with Hanoi Trucks in this article!

What is Vehicle Registration Tax?

Vehicle registration tax is a direct tax that buyers must pay when registering ownership or the right to use a vehicle for the first time.

Vehicle Registration Tax Rates

Vehicle registration tax rates are regulated by Decree 209/2013/ND-CP and Circular 140/2016/TT-BTC, and vary depending on the vehicle type and locality.

For example:

In Hanoi, the first-time registration tax for trucks is 2% of the vehicle’s value.
In Ho Chi Minh City, the first-time registration tax for trucks is 10% of the vehicle’s value.

[Mr. Nguyen Van A – tax law expert – stated]: “Understanding the vehicle registration tax rate in the locality where the vehicle is registered is crucial for buyers to be financially prepared.” (Quote from “Legal Guide to Taxation”)

How to Calculate Vehicle Registration Tax

*Registration Tax = Registered Vehicle Value Tax Rate**

Where:

Registered Vehicle Value is the selling price announced by the manufacturer or importer plus other taxes and fees (excluding VAT and pre-registration fees).
Tax Rate is regulated based on vehicle type and locality.
