From September 1, 2024, domestically manufactured and assembled cars (CKD) will begin to enjoy a 50% registration fee support policy according to the provisions of Decree 109/2024/ND-CP of the Government. The registration fee support period lasts for 3 months until November 30, 2024.
With 50% support for registration fees, consumers who buy CKD cars during the period when Decree 109/2024/ND-CP takes effect will save about 5-6% of the car price depending on the registration fee collection rate in each locality. This is considered a significant pressure on completely imported (CBU) cars.
In the context of the purchasing power in the whole market still not showing much improvement, CBU cars are forced to rush into the price reduction race to maintain competitiveness.
