Ms. Nguyen Thi Thoa - a trader at Tan Dinh market shared: "We have practiced following each step, but we still do not fully understand the declaration and issuance of valid invoices. I hope the tax authorities and software companies will support us more enthusiastically to comply with the law."

Mr. Nguyen Van Loc - another business owner, worried: "Issuing invoices requires a barcode scanner, investing in expensive equipment. I hope the government will have a support policy to reduce costs."
