What is determination of time for calculating road use fees for initially inspected vehicles in Vietnam?
Pursuant to a.2 Point a Clause 1 Article 6 Circular 70/2021/TT-BTC stipulates calculation and payment as follows:
1. For the automobiles registered under organizations and individuals in Vietnam (except the vehicles of police and national defense forces as defined in Section 2 of this Article).
The road use fee shall be levied on an initially inspected vehicle from the date of issue of the certificate of registration. The road use fee shall be levied on a vehicle converted or transferred from an organization to an individual (or vice versa) from the date of conversion or the date of change to ownership as shown in the vehicle’s new registration card.
The road use fee shall be levied per year, per month or at inspection intervals. Registry agencies shall issue road use stamps that match the duration paid for. The process occurs in the following manner:
a) Calculation and payment of the fee at inspection intervals
a.1) For automobiles inspected at 1-year or shorter intervals: vehicle owners shall pay the road use fee for the duration of the entire inspection interval and receive a road use stamp that matches the duration paid for.
a.2) For automobiles inspected at intervals of more than 01 year (18, 24 and 30 months): vehicle owners shall pay the road use fee per year (12 months) or for the duration of the entire inspection interval (18, 24 and 30 months).
If the fee is paid for the duration of the inspection interval (18, 24 and 30 months), the registry agency shall issue a road use stamp commensurate with the inspection interval. At the end of the paid duration (inspection interval), the vehicle owner shall have his vehicle inspected and pay the fee for the following inspection interval.
If the fee is paid per year (12 months), registry agencies shall issue a road use stamp that match the paid duration of 12 months. At the end of the paid duration (12 months), the vehicle owner shall pay the fee to the registry agency and receive a stamp (for the duration of another 12 months or the remaining length of the inspection interval).
Thus, according to the law, you will be issued a Inspection Certificate from September 24, 2020, so the time to calculate road use fees is from this date. Because you registered for a inspection period of 18 months, your inspection period is 18 months (from September 24, 2020 to June 24, 2022).
What is 18-month road use fee payment rate in Vietnam?
