The General Department of Taxation stipulated the condition for implementing registration fee payment is that it should be done via the National Online Public Service Portal. At the same time, having registered an account on National Online Public Service Portal and this account is already connected to a bank account.

Besides that, it applied with the person paying registration fee via commercial bank and having account already registered internet banking services at one of these banks: Vietcombank, Vietinbank, Agribank, VPBank, MBBank, TPBank or BIDV.

According to the General Department of Taxation, the person paying the registration fee could make a tax declaration through two methods.

Firstly, making a tax declaration at the tax agency. With this method, the person paying the registration fee will declare and submit a dossier at the tax agency. They should declare an exact phone number on the declaration to receive notification from tax agency.

After that, they would receive a notification (including code of dossier) and a message from the General Department of Taxation to the registered phone number. The content of the message as following: NNT has already submitted tax declaration dossier successfully. Code of dossier: xxx. The amount of registration fee payment: xxx VND.”

The code of dossier would be used during the process of the registration fee payment via the National Online Public Service Portal/commercial bank.

The second method is making an e-declaration via the National Online Public Service Portal/General Department of Taxation portal. This method is applied at Hanoi City Tax Department and HCM City Tax Department (two units that have been piloting the registration fee programme for cars and motorbikes under the guidance at Document No. 2529/TCT-DNNCN dated June 22, 2020 of General Department of Taxation). The other tax department would deploy under the schedule of the General Department of Taxation.

For the tax payment, the General Department of Taxation stipulated the person paying the registration fee could choose to access the National Online Public Service Portal or electronic payment channel of the commerical bank to pay the registration fee.

With this method, the registration fee payer will choose to log in to the electronic payment system of the banks and follow the process of guiding the payment of the registration fee provided by the bank.

After completing two steps of tax declaration and payment, the registration fee payer would receive a message from the General Department of Taxation to the phone number registered with the tax agency.
