Battery-powered electric cars continue to be exempt from registration fees until February 28, 2027
The Government issued Decree No. 51/2025 dated March 1, amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 10/2022 dated January 15, 2022 of the Government regulating registration fees.
In particular, Decree No. 51/2025/ND-CP amends Point c, Clause 5, Article 8 of Decree No. 10/2022 regulating the registration fee for battery-powered electric cars.
According to the new regulations, for battery-powered electric cars from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027, the first registration fee will continue to be paid at a rate of 0%.
According to the Ministry of Finance, in order to contribute to reducing environmental pollution from vehicle emissions; encourage businesses to invest in production, take advantage of supply opportunities and stimulate consumers to use battery-powered electric cars, the Government has issued Decree No. 10/2022.
Point c, Clause 5, Article 8 of Decree No. 10/2022 stipulates preferential registration fees for battery-powered electric cars for 3 years (from March 1, 2022 to March 1, 2025), paying the first registration fee at a rate of 0%; within the next 2 years, paying the first registration fee at a rate equal to 50% of the rate for gasoline and diesel cars with the same seats.
The implementation of the policy of 0% registration fee for battery-powered electric cars in recent times has basically achieved the goals set out when it was issued, having an impact on consumers, manufacturers and distributors of battery-powered electric cars, on the air environment and on state budget revenue.
With the above benefits, the Government has issued Decree No. 51/2025/ND-CP amending Decree No. 10/2022 stipulating that battery-powered electric cars continue to pay the first registration fee at a rate of 0% until February 28, 2027.
