This price list is amended and supplemented because the emergence of automobiles and motorbikes has not been yet regulated in the price list issued by the Ministry of Finance.

In addition, other contents are still implemented in accordance with Circular 304. In fact, the actual price of transfer of cars and motorbikes in the market is lower than the price for calculation of registration fee issued by the Ministry of Finance, so the registration fee calculation price is the price in accordance with the price list issued by the Ministry of Finance.

In the case where at the time of submitting registration fee declarations, the actual transfer price of automobiles and motorbikes on the market shall be 20% or higher than the current price list currently applied in registration fee calculation prices as specified in the price list issued by the Ministry of Finance, the tax office shall base on the registration fee of automobiles and motorcycles already available at the price table and at Point a, Clause 3, Article 3 of the Minister of Finance’s Circular No. 301/2016 / TT-BTC of 15th November 2016 to determine the registration fee calculation price as prescribed.
