3 cases where it is not mandatory to use electronic invoices from money computers
Not all business households and businesses have to use electronic invoices from cash registers. There are three cases that are not allowed to be applied from June 1, 2025.
From June 1, 2025, according to the provisions of Decree 70/2025/ND-CP and Circular 32/2025/TT-BTC, business households and individuals with a revenue of VND 1 billion/year or more in some areas ( retailing of goods, catering services, hotels, passenger transport, entertainment...) are required to use electronic invoices generated from cash registers.
According to the guidance of the Ministry of Finance, there are three cases where it is not mandatory to switch to using electronic invoices generated from cash registers:
1. Enterprises must register electronic invoices before June 1, 2025
According to Clause 5, Article 12 of Circular 32/2025/TT-BTC, enterprises operating in the fields of goods sales, providing services directly to consumers such as: shopping malls, supermarkets, retail (except for cars, motorbikes), food, restaurants, hotels, passenger transportation, entertainment services... if they have registered to use electronic invoices with codes or without codes with tax authorities before June 1, 2025, can choose:
