< Back to E-Invoicing Overview
Vietnam has fully implemented mandatory e-invoicing as part of its tax modernization efforts. The country requires businesses to issue digital invoices for all taxable transactions, integrating them with the national tax system for real-time validation.
E-invoicing in Vietnam has improved financial transparency, reduced fraud, and automated tax reporting. Companies must generate invoices electronically and submit them to the tax authority before they can be legally issued.

The General Department of Taxation (GDT) oversees Vietnam’s e-invoicing compliance.
