- For businesses paying VAT by the direct method, sales invoices must show the full pre-reduction amount and clearly state the reduced amount as required by Decree 174/2025/NĐ-CP.
- Even if the contract or annex already states a price after VAT reduction, the invoice still must follow the prescribed format and note the tax reduction.
- VAT taxable revenue should be declared based on the full value before reduction, not the reduced contract value.
- The Sơn La tax authority issued this guidance for taxpayers to follow.
