What is Car Registration Tax? Current Tax Rates

Simply put, car registration tax is a fee you pay to the Vietnamese government when purchasing a new vehicle. This tax is calculated based on the vehicle’s value and the tax rate stipulated by the government.

A former colleague of mine, Minh, almost faced a financial setback due to insufficient research on this tax. He bought a pickup truck for his business, mistakenly assuming the tax rate was the same as for passenger cars. He ended up paying a significant sum, disrupting his financial plans.

To avoid a similar situation, understand the latest car registration tax rates:

  • 10% of the vehicle value for passenger cars with 9 seats or less, used for commercial passenger transportation (taxis, ride-hailing services, etc.).
  • 2018 Car Registration Tax also applied a 10% rate for vehicles with engine displacement of 1,500 cc or less.
  • 12% of the vehicle value for passenger cars with more than 9 seats, trucks, and specialized vehicles.
  • 2% of the vehicle value for passenger cars with 9 seats or less, not used for commercial passenger transportation. This rate applies in Hanoi and some other provinces.
