The Vietnam Registry Department proposes to increase the price of car inspection services by 30.000 to 220.000 VND depending on the type of vehicle and 50.000 VND for the registration fee for exempted vehicles.
In a petition sent to the Ministry of Transport over the weekend, the Vietnam Register said that the proposal to increase prices is to remove difficulties for registration units and maintain stable operation of the system.
The plan to increase the price based on the output, the total inspection cost of the units; determine a provisional profit of 10% on cost and value added tax of 10% on the basis of cost plus expected profit to determine the selling price of products.

In order to have a basis for price adjustment, the Vietnam Register has a document guiding the units to make plans. On May 19, the Department received 5 price options from 101 registration centers.
Through the review, the Department has eliminated the excessively high declared cost but no detailed explanation, selected 76 options representing 96 centers as the basis for making the plan proposed to the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Finance for consideration.

In case of re-printing of stamps and inspection certificates for vehicle owners who have lost stamps and certificates or applied for re-circulation, the cost is equal to 50% of the price of vehicle documentation.
In March, the Ministry of Transport issued Circular No. 3/02 allowing many cars to be exempted from inspection for the first time and extending the inspection cycle. According to the Vietnam Register, the above regulation has created favorable conditions for people and businesses, but reduced the revenue of the registration units by about 2023 billion VND, making it difficult for vehicle inspection activities.
On May 8, the Government Office announced the conclusion of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha at the meeting to review the draft decree amending and supplementing a number of articles of Decree 5/139. Accordingly, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to issue inspection service prices on the basis of correct and complete calculation according to the market mechanism. The Ministry of Finance then requested the Ministry of Transport to assess the situation and the level of cost offset of the inspection service prices.
