Details of the new road toll rates effective from February 1, 2024.

The government has just issued Decree No. 90/2023/ND-CP regulating the rates, collection methods, payment, exemption, management, and use of road usage fees. The Decree takes effect from February 1, 2024.

Details of road usage fees for each type of vehicle are as follows:

The decree also clarifies that: In cases where a vehicle is sold or auctioned off and the fee has already been paid by the time of re-inspection for circulation, the vehicle owner must pay the fee starting from the time following the payment period of the previous cycle.

For vehicles confiscated or seized by competent state agencies; vehicles of administrative agencies and public service units (with blue license plates); vehicles of the national defense and police forces that are being liquidated; and vehicles mortgaged and seized by credit institutions or branches of foreign banks that were not inspected for road use during the period of confiscation, seizure, or awaiting liquidation, and are subsequently sold at auction or liquidation, the new owner of the vehicle only has to pay road usage fees from the time the vehicle is inspected for road use.

When undergoing vehicle inspection, vehicle owners must present relevant documents to the registration authority, such as: Decisions on confiscation or revocation by competent authorities; decisions on the recovery of mortgaged assets; decisions permitting the liquidation of assets owned by administrative agencies, public service units, national defense forces, and police; minutes or contracts confirming the completion of procedures for purchasing assets sold through liquidation or auction.

If the vehicle owner wishes to pay the road usage fee for a period longer than the inspection cycle, the vehicle inspection unit will collect the fee and issue a road usage fee payment sticker corresponding to the payment period.

Specifically, in the case of annual (12-month) fee payment, the vehicle inspection unit issues a road usage fee sticker corresponding to the 12-month payment period. After the 12-month payment period expires, the vehicle owner must go to the inspection unit to pay the fee and will be issued a road usage fee sticker for the next period (12 months or the remaining time of the inspection cycle).

The decree stipulates that, for vehicles undergoing their first inspection, the road usage fee will be calculated from the date the vehicle is issued its inspection certificate.

For vehicles that have been modified, converted in function, or transferred ownership from an organization to an individual (and vice versa), the fee is calculated from the date of conversion or transfer of ownership as stated in the new vehicle registration certificate. Road usage fees are calculated annually, monthly, or according to the vehicle inspection cycle. The vehicle inspection unit issues a road usage fee sticker corresponding to the payment period.

The decree stipulates that the monthly fee for the second year (from the 13th to the 24th month after vehicle inspection and fee payment) is 92% of the monthly fee as specified in the regulations. The monthly fee for the third year (from the 25th to the 36th month after vehicle inspection and fee payment) is 85% of the monthly fee as specified in the regulations.
