What is Truck Registration Tax?

Truck registration tax is a levy payable when an individual or organization registers ownership of a vehicle for the first time. This tax is calculated based on the vehicle’s value and a percentage rate stipulated by the government.

In 2016, the truck registration tax rate in Hanoi was 12% for passenger cars with fewer than 9 seats. For trucks, the tax rate was based on the vehicle’s load capacity, as follows:

Trucks with a load capacity under 1.5 tons: 2%
Trucks with a load capacity from 1.5 to under 3 tons: 3%
Trucks with a load capacity from 3 to under 5 tons: 5%
Trucks with a load capacity of 5 tons or more: 7%

Calculating 2016 Truck Registration Tax

To calculate the 2016 truck registration tax, you can use the following formula:

Registration Tax = Vehicle Value x Tax Rate (%)

Where:

Vehicle Value is the value assessed by the tax authorities.
Tax Rate is determined by vehicle type and region.

Example: Anh Minh purchased a 2016 Hyundai HD72 truck with a load capacity of 3.5 tons. The vehicle’s value, as assessed by the tax authorities, was 300 million VND. Therefore, the registration tax Anh Minh had to pay was: 300,000,000 x 5% = 15,000,000 VND.

Important Notes on Paying Truck Registration Tax

Vehicle owners are responsible for paying the registration tax before registering the vehicle.
Late payment of registration tax will incur penalties as per regulations.
Consult with experts or truck dealerships for specific advice on tax payment procedures.
