- The asset transfer prices in the market of each type of car and motorcycle (for cars and motorcycles based on vehicle type; for trucks based on the country of manufacture, brand, and allowable payload capacity; for buses based on the country of manufacture, brand, and number of passengers including the driver).
- In cases of new types of cars or motorcycles arising that are not listed in the pricing table at the time of filing the registration fee declaration, the tax authority will base the price on the database as prescribed in Clause 2, Article 7 of Decree 10/2022/ND-CP to decide the registration fee price for each newly arising type of car or motorcycle (for cars and motorcycles based on vehicle type; for trucks based on the country of manufacture, brand, and allowable payload capacity; for buses based on the country of manufacture, brand, and number of passengers including the driver).
- If there are new types of cars or motorcycles arising that are not in the pricing table or if the car or motorcycle prices listed in the pricing table differ by 5% or more due to market asset transfer, the Tax Department summarizes and reports to the Ministry of Finance by the 5th of the last month of the quarter.
The Ministry of Finance shall issue a decision on the adjusted and supplemented pricing table for registration fees before the 25th of the last month of the quarter to apply from the first day of the next quarter. The adjusted or supplemented pricing table is issued according to regulation on issuing the registration fee pricing table specified at point a of this clause or based on the average registration fee price from the tax authorities in localities.
