Ministry of Finance proposes to remove 5% registration fee for motorbikes in the city

The Ministry of Finance proposed to amend and supplement the regulations on the registration fee for motorbikes to 2%. For motorbikes paying the registration fee for the second time or more, the fee is 1%.

The Ministry of Finance is seeking comments on the draft Decree amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree No. 10/2022/ND-CP of the Government on registration fees.

The Ministry of Finance proposed to remove the 5% registration fee for motorbikes in the city.

According to the Ministry of Finance, in the implementation of administrative unit arrangement at the local level (merging provinces and communes; abolishing district level), it is necessary to review and amend some provisions in Decree No. 10 (on the level of registration fee collection for different vehicles according to district level, exemption of registration fee for organizations and individuals according to commune, ward, town level...), ensuring smooth implementation of registration fee collection without any problems.

Accordingly, the Ministry of Finance proposed to amend and supplement Clause 4, Article 8 of Decree No. 10. Specifically, for motorbikes, the registration fee is 2%. For motorbikes paying the registration fee for the second time or more, the fee is 1%.

According to regulations in Clause 4, Article 8 of Decree No. 10, vehicle owners in 6 centrally-run cities and 83 provincial cities must pay a registration fee of 5% when registering a motorbike for the first time.

However, according to the policy of administrative unit arrangement, with the abolition of district level and the merger of communes and wards, the number of commune-level administrative units is expected to decrease by about 60%. Thus, the administrative boundaries of communes and wards will change compared to the current one.

According to the reorganization plan, the number of provincial administrative units will be reduced from 63 to 34. Some provinces are expected to merge into centrally-run cities, such as Hai Duong into Hai Phong, Quang Nam into Da Nang. If the method of calculating and collecting registration fees as prescribed in Decree No. 10 is applied, people in provinces (except provincial cities) merged into centrally-run cities will have to pay a higher registration fee (an increase of 3%) when registering motorbikes.

Currently, 6 centrally-run cities have been authorized by the National Assembly : The City People's Council has the authority to adjust the level or rate of fees and charges (under the authority of central agencies) higher than those applied in the city if necessary.

Therefore, the draft decree proposes to remove the regulation on the 5% registration fee for motorbikes registered in cities.

The draft proposes to amend and supplement Clause 3, Article 7 on the price for calculating registration fees for cars and motorbikes; Clause 1 and Clause 4, Article 13 of Decree No. 10 in the direction that the price for calculating registration fees for cars and motorbikes is according to the price list issued by the provincial People's Committee.

The reason, according to the drafting agency, is that the State Budget Law stipulates that registration fees are a revenue item belonging to the local budget.

Therefore, amending the authority to issue the price list for calculating registration fees and transferring it to the provincial People's Committee ensures consistency in the spirit of organization and arrangement of the apparatus according to the orientation of decentralization and delegation of authority to local authorities, creating conditions for localities to be proactive in applying the price list and collecting registration fees.
