Article 6. Principles for
determining specific prices, discounts, and eligible beneficiaries for road
usage services
1. The specific price for a single vehicle trip
using road usage services (hereinafter referred to as the single trip fee)
shall not exceed the maximum price for each type of vehicle as stipulated in
the Decision on maximum road usage prices issued by the Minister of Transport.
2. The monthly price refers to the toll rate
applicable for a vehicle using the road services at a toll plaza for a period
of 30 days. The monthly price is calculated as 30 (thirty) times the
single-trip price specified in Clause 1 of this Article.
3. The quarterly price refers to the toll rate
applicable for a vehicle using the road services at a toll plaza for a period
of 90 days. The quarterly price is calculated as three (3) times the monthly
price, with a 10% discount.
4. The single-trip price, monthly price, and
quarterly price for road usage service under each project, categorized by
vehicle type, must be agreed upon by the competent authority and the
Investor/Project Enterprise within the framework of the project agreement.
5. Based on the socio-economic conditions of the
locality where the toll plaza is located, the parties signing the project

prescribed by laws on invoice management for goods sales and service provision.
A one-stop road use ticket issued for a specific toll plaza is valid only at
that toll plaza. Electronic non-stop road use tickets are managed in accordance
with the regulations on electronic non-stop toll collection.

4. If a toll plaza ceases or temporarily suspends
toll collection indefinitely, the toll collection unit must refund the unused
portion of the monthly or quarterly ticket to the vehicle owner. The refunded
amount is calculated by dividing the ticket price by 30 days (for monthly tickets)
or 90 days (for quarterly tickets) and multiplying by the number of remaining
valid days from the date toll collection ceases or is suspended.
5. In cases of disasters, epidemics, natural
disasters, or other force majeure events that require toll plazas to
temporarily suspend toll collection as directed by the competent authority, the
toll collection unit must extend the validity period of monthly or quarterly
tickets. The extension is calculated by adding the number of suspended days to
the validity period, provided it does not exceed the remaining valid days of
the ticket from the suspension start date.
Article 8. Price declaration
1. The Vietnam Road Administration is responsible
for receiving price declaration documents and organizing the updating of
