• Vietnam has mandated nationwide e-invoicing since July 2022 for B2B, B2C, B2G, and export transactions, excluding imports.
• E-invoices must be in standardized XML format, digitally signed (except POS), and cleared in real-time or reported to the tax authority on the same day.
• Invoices must be archived electronically for 10 years; non-compliance results in significant penalties.
• Key regulations include Decree 123/2020, Decree 70/2025, and related circulars, with stricter rules and expanded scope from June 2025.
• Pre-filled VAT returns are not available; taxpayers must file manually.
