Petrolimex pioneers in implementing electronic invoices according to Decree 70 of the Government

In the context of digital transformation becoming a core element in the development strategy not only of enterprises in particular but also of the whole economy, the story of electronic invoices for each sale increasingly poses strict requirements on transparency in management and convenience in transactions, especially in the petroleum business at retail stores. Following the success in implementing Decree No. 51/2010/ND-CP and Decree No. 123/2020/ND-CP, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) continues to pioneer the successful implementation of the solution of issuing electronic invoices for petroleum sales to individual customers who are not doing business in compliance with Decree No. 70/2025/ND-CP dated March 20, 2025 of the Government.

Improving transparency of electronic gasoline invoices

On March 20, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 70/2025/ND-CP, amending and supplementing a number of provisions in Decree No. 123/2020/ND-CP related to invoices and documents. Decree 70 with many new points aims to optimize the management of electronic invoices, while strictly perfecting the invoice creation process of enterprises to meet state management requirements.

In the context of the whole country's determination to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation, along with Resolution No. 03/NQ-CP of the Government on the Action Program to implement Resolution 57, Petrolimex has prepared to implement Decree 70/2025/ND-CP immediately upon its effective date.

Specifically, from June 1, 2025, the entire system of nearly 2,800 Petrolimex gas stations nationwide will simultaneously apply the process of issuing electronic invoices for gasoline sales according to Decree No. 70: Each gasoline sales invoice will be digitally signed and sent directly to the tax authority immediately after the transaction is completed.

This process is operated through the ERP-SAP enterprise management system and the EGAS retail management system, automatically connecting to the AGAS petrol pump data management system, ensuring accuracy, safety and transparency. Thanks to the integration of modern payment methods such as bank cards, e-wallets and QR codes, RFID... Petrolimex brings convenience, speed and safety to customers.

Invoice management is also more convenient thanks to the direct lookup feature on the website hoadondientu.gdt.gov.vn or via mobile applications; supporting customers in preparing financial and accounting reports; simplifying tax declaration and payment procedures.
Affirming the bravery and pioneering role of Petrolimex

The pioneering spirit in implementing regulations of the Government and management agencies has demonstrated the role of important state-owned enterprises such as Petrolimex in complying with the law, while contributing to the transparency of business activities, especially in the petroleum sector.

Previously, Petrolimex was the first enterprise in the petroleum industry to successfully pilot the issuance of electronic invoices from January 1, 2018 in accordance with Decree No. 51/2010/ND-CP of the Government regulating invoices for the sale of goods and provision of services; and was also the pioneer in issuing electronic invoices after each sale at the petroleum station system nationwide through an automatic technology solution platform, ensuring transparency, accuracy and convenience in accordance with Decree No. 123/2020/ND-CP dated October 19, 2020. Petrolimex's invoice issuance solution and initialization process have been highly appreciated by state management agencies along with the satisfaction of customers nationwide. This could be one of the important bases for the Government and State management agencies to issue Decree 70 to optimize management, improve operational efficiency, create favorable conditions for consumers and transparency in business.

The implementation of Decree No. 70 from June 1, 2025 will create an important milestone in the digital transformation strategy, aiming to become the leading energy group in Vietnam, providing green, clean, high-quality and environmentally friendly products, based on 4.0 technology and comprehensive digital transformation.
