Deployed by the Tax sector since mid-December 2022, up to now, after nearly 1 year of implementation, electronic invoices generated from cash registers have gradually affirmed and promoted practical effects, creating convenience for businesses and people to fulfill tax obligations to the state budget.

Through review and statistics, the whole province has 167 enterprises and business households in the fields of providing goods and services directly to consumers such as shopping malls; supermarkets; retail of consumer goods; food and beverage; restaurants; hotels; retail of modern medicine; gold trading; entertainment services and other services, meeting the conditions to apply electronic invoices generated from cash registers.

At a point of sale, multiple cash registers can be set up to issue invoices to customers; at the same time, ensuring transparency, protecting consumer rights when buying and selling goods and being eligible to participate in the lucky bill program lottery. Furthermore, implementing electronic invoices generated from cash registers does not increase costs for businesses, but on the contrary, helps businesses save time and human resources.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoan, a business household in Dong Da ward, Vinh Yen city, shared: When the tax authority propagated and instructed, the store proactively registered and implemented electronic invoices generated from cash registers to make it easier to issue invoices to customers.

Through implementation, it has been shown that the invoice issuance process is very fast and easy, when sending a request to the tax authority, it only takes 10 - 15 seconds to get the code, then we convert it into an electronic invoice and send it to the customer in about 1 - 2 minutes to complete. All steps are easy, businesses and business households do not need to buy any additional equipment other than the available equipment such as computers, mobile phones with Internet connection.

Bringing many conveniences to consumers, business households and enterprises, however, the process of implementing electronic invoices with tax authority codes generated from cash registers in the province still faces many difficulties, because there are no legal regulations requiring enterprises and business households operating in the field of providing goods and services directly to consumers to use electronic invoices generated from cash registers with tax authority codes.

Along with that is the fear of change, not understanding clearly about electronic invoices generated from cash registers, fear of being controlled in the business of goods, increasing tax obligations to the state budget and incurring other costs during operation, leading to some businesses and business households not being interested in implementing.

In order to promote the implementation of electronic invoices with tax authority codes generated from cash registers in the province, the Provincial Tax Department has increased propaganda and guidance to support businesses and business households in applying these electronic invoices.

Direct the Tax Departments of districts, cities and regions to coordinate with departments, offices and cultural and communication centers of districts and cities to propagate to organizations and individuals in the area the benefits of electronic invoices generated from cash registers and the subjects applying electronic invoices generated from cash registers.
