Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang has tasked government bodies with reviewing the legal basis and feasibility of reducing the special consumption tax on gasoline to zero from Nov. 1 through March 31, 2027.
Under the Special Consumption Tax Law, which took effect on July 1, the tax rate is 10% for regular gasoline, 8% for E5 gasoline and 7% for E10. The tax on gasoline had previously been reduced to 0% from late March through the end of June 2026 to help stabilize the market.
