Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance has proposed extending preferential special consumption tax rates for battery electric vehicles with fewer than 24 seats until the end of 2030, as part of efforts to accelerate the country’s shift away from fossil fuels and support its net-zero emissions target.

The ministry said the policy is intended to encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly transport. Currently, electric vehicles are taxed at 1–3%, significantly lower than the 10–150% applied to internal combustion engine vehicles. Under existing plans, EV tax rates are set to rise to 4–11% from March 2027.
