Additionally, while the blending of bio-diesel B5 and B10 for diesel engines is not yet mandatory, the Ministry of Industry and Trade encourages organizations and individuals to engage in the production and trade of these bio-diesel products.
Regarding environmental protection taxes, a resolution from the National Assembly Standing Committee states that in 2026, the tax on gasoline (excluding ethanol) will remain at 2,000 VND per liter. Diesel, mazut, and lubricants will be taxed at 1,000 VND per liter. Grease will be 1,000 VND per kilogram, and kerosene 600 VND per liter. These rates are consistent with those applied in 2025.
