Using electronic invoices generated from cash registers brings many practical benefits to business households.
Bring many practical benefits
On March 20, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 70/2025/ND-CP, amending and supplementing Decree 123/2020/ND-CP, officially effective from June 1, 2025 - marking a strong shift in tax management, significantly expanding the scope of application of electronic invoices and changing the approach to tax management towards technology.
In particular, the regulation on electronic invoices generated from cash registers in Article 11 has expanded the scope of application, including enterprises that sell goods and provide services directly to consumers; business households and business individuals with revenue of 1 billion VND/year or more.
Using electronic invoices from cash registers not only helps to make transactions transparent and reduce costs, but also helps taxpayers manage effectively, look up easily and enhance their reputation with customers.
In Hanoi, digital transformation is being implemented synchronously and comprehensively. The City Party Committee issued Resolution No. 18-NQ/TU and Directive No. 42-CT/TU dated January 23, 2025, aiming to build a digital government, digital economy and digital society. The City established a Steering Committee on digital transformation headed by the City Party Committee Secretary, aiming to promote science, technology, innovation and comprehensive digital transformation. The implementation of electronic invoices generated from cash registers is an important part of that program.
Mr. Vu Manh Cuong, Head of the Tax Department of Region I, assessed that the use of electronic invoices generated from cash registers brings many practical benefits to business households and individual businesses such as saving time and costs: allowing sellers to issue invoices at the time of transaction, minimizing the delay between the time of payment and the time of invoice creation.
Invoice data is transmitted to tax authorities through an organization providing electronic data receiving, transmission and storage services, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
In addition, it is easy to look up and manage invoices via the website hoadondientu.gdt.gov.vn or the electronic invoice lookup application on mobile phones; support in preparing financial and accounting reports; simplify tax declaration and payment procedures.
At the same time, it is possible to warn consumers about the risks of invoicing by sellers who are subject to stopping the use of electronic invoices, enhancing the reputation of business households and individual businesses, demonstrating professionalism and modernity.

From handwriting to digital manipulation
According to the reporter, currently, some business households are still hesitant and unprepared, unfamiliar with technology because most of them are small, traditional businesses (restaurants, grocery stores, personal services, etc.) that have never used sales management software or electronic invoices. Approaching new technology makes many people worried and afraid of change.
For many small businesses – especially those in the food, retail, transportation, and personal services industries – invoicing has never been a familiar task. Business is largely based on trust and cash transactions, while recording revenue is often a “self-managed” task.
Now, with Decree 70/2025/ND-CP, households must create electronic invoices from cash registers, directly connecting data with tax authorities - a step forward from "emotional" business to digital business, real-time management.
"Before, I would just sell it and at the end of the month, I would estimate the revenue and pay the lump sum tax. Now, I have to print invoices every day and know how to use technology to do it, so I'm very worried," said Mr. Nguyen Van H. (56 years old, owner of a small restaurant in Cau Giay district)...
Some businesses are concerned that connecting revenue directly to tax authorities may increase tax obligations, so they lack cooperation in implementing cash registers and electronic invoices; many businesses do not have cash registers, invoice printing equipment or stable internet connections. Investing in new equipment is a major obstacle for small-scale businesses with low revenue...
Ms. Do Thu Thuy (a small business owner in Ha Dong district) shared: "I agree with business transparency, but if small businesses like us are supported with software and equipment costs, or preferential loans, I believe many businesses will be more bold in investing."
However, many business households believe that Decree 70/2025/ND-CP is an important "push" in building a public and modern business environment. For business households, this is a test - but if they pass, they will have a great opportunity to develop sustainably, professionally and better integrate into the digital economy.
Agreeing with this view, Mr. Toan, the owner of a small electronics store in Dong Da district, shared: "I think any change will be difficult at first, but in the long run, it will be beneficial for us. Doing business clearly, customers trust us, and the tax authorities do not have to worry about us making false declarations."
Based on the above reality, many business households recommend that the authorities should have financial support policies, at least in the initial implementation phase, such as tax exemptions or support for investment costs of cash register equipment. In addition, it is necessary to implement training courses and specific, direct instructions for business households, helping them quickly adapt to the new method.
Strengthening support and accompanying taxpayers

Mr. Vu Manh Cuong, Head of the Tax Department of Region I, emphasized that in order to ensure the use of electronic invoices generated from cash registers in the city meets the set progress, from the beginning of 2025, the Tax Department of Region I has proactively and synchronously deployed propaganda activities to support taxpayers. The highlight was the support campaign for the entire area in April to prepare for the time when Decree 70/2025/ND-CP takes effect.
"We have also closely coordinated with service providers such as Mobi, Viettel, and MISA to ensure timely and effective technology solution support to each business household and individual," said Mr. Vu Manh Cuong.
At the same time, the Department's support teams were also established to organize training and direct and online guidance for taxpayers. In addition, any problems arising during the implementation process were promptly resolved to avoid disruption of production and business activities.
The Tax Department of Region I emphasized that qualified business households that do not convert according to regulations will be handled according to the law on tax and invoices. The tax authority will strengthen supervision through real-time connection data and periodic inspections and checks.
The implementation of Decree 70 is not only a legal requirement, but also an important step in the process of national digital transformation, modernizing the tax sector and improving the business environment. Electronic invoices generated from cash registers are expected to help limit tax evasion, commercial fraud and improve revenue management efficiency.
The Tax Department of Region I calls on business households and individuals in the area to seriously implement the new regulations, accompanying the tax sector towards a public, transparent and modern financial system.
