However, the General Department of Taxation also encourages agencies, organisations and individuals for using e-invoicesto use e-invoices and e- documents before July 1, 2022.
Accordingly, the Law on Tax Administration No. 38 provides when selling goods or providing services, the seller must make an e-invoice to deliver to the buyer in the standard data format prescribed by the tax authority and must fill contents according to the provisions of tax law andaccounting law, regardless of the value of each sale of goods or provision of services.
