Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has just signed off on key tasks and solutions to promote growth, control inflation and stabilise the macroeconomy in July and the third quarter of this year.
The Ministry of Finance asked key ministries, branches and agencies, for their feedback on the proposal to extend the reduction of registration fees for domestically manufactured and assembled cars in Việt Nam.
Interest rate cuts and a 50 per cent reduction in automobile registration fees are seen as positive factors for the industry in the second half of 2023.
The decree aims to help enterprises in the domestic automobile manufacturing industry who are faced with high surplus inventory alongside reduced access to capital, high interest rates, changes in exchange rates, and inflation.
Domestically produced and assembled cars are to have their registration fees slashed by half during the last six months of 2023, according to the Government Office.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade supporting the reduction of automobile registration fees is considered a positive effect to the auto industry in the context of the automobile market facing many difficulties.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) reports that it is necessary to devise a 50 per cent cut on auto registration fees and extend the payment of excise tax on locally-assembled and manufactured cars.
Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai has recently signed Decree No. 10/2022 on regulating registration fees. The decree will take effect from March 1 this year.
The Ministry of Finance (MoF) has proposed slashing registration fees for locally built cars by 50 per cent until May 2022, to increase sales and encourage recovery in the automobile industry.
Slashing registration fees by half for electric vehicles (EVs) may cost the State budget as much as VND8.6 trillion (US$380 million) a year, according to the latest report by the Ministry of Finance.
Registration fees for new electric cars are to be cut by half compared to those with internal combustion engines, following recommendations by the Ministry of Finance (MoF).
The Ministry of Finance has rejected the Viet Nam Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (VAMA) proposal to continue reducing the registration fees for new domestically-produced cars by 50 per cent.
The cut in the fee has reduced the cost of car ownership, which the Government hoped would help revive a slumping auto market. But it has not worked out that way, at least not so far.
