Ms. Nguyen Thien Huong (born in 1993, doing business at Han Market) said that when hearing the information through the newspaper, many traders like her felt very worried, hoping to be guided, supported by the authorities, software, and free training.
"Most traders here when asked support the policy of transparency of business operations. However, what we are worried about is that the women, mothers, and elderly people who have been trading here for decades will face barriers and difficulties in accessing and applying technology" - Ms. Huong said.
Ms. Nguyen Thien Huong's concern is not unique. Ms. Le Thi Bich (66 years old, character name requested for change, doing business at Han Market) - said that many tourists come to the market to buy goods, and for a long time she has received cash, or transferred money via QR code.
Ms. Bich is not afraid to buy printers, scans and support software, but what makes people like her worried is not knowing how to use electronic invoices generated from cash registers properly, requiring guidance and support from tax authorities and tax authorities.
Not only at traditional markets, many businesses on major streets in Da Nang City were also quite confused when asked about this issue.
Mr. Nguyen Huu Thanh (manager of a restaurant on Tran Quoc Toan Street, Hai Chau District) informed that the businesses here all support the State's policy, but in fact, he does not know where to start.
According to Mr. Thanh, issuing invoices after each transaction is not difficult in theory, but for traditional businesses, this is a real barrier and challenge. If business households are clearly guided and trained, there will be no longer any hesitation.
According to Lao Dong, from June 1, 2025, according to the provisions of Decree 70/2023/ND-CP of the Government, individual business households with a revenue of VND 1 billion/year or more are required to issue electronic invoices via computers after each sales transaction.
This regulation aims to promote transparency of business activities, help the State prevent tax losses, and at the same time open the door for business households to access loans, banking, social insurance, etc. from digital data platforms.
Many financial and banking experts commented that in the past, individual business households, despite having large revenues, paid contract tax, and were not required to fully declare revenue, creating space for tax fraud.
With electronic invoices from cash registers, all transactions are recorded immediately, creating a transparent data flow, avoiding budget losses. This will establish a fair competition level between individual households and legitimate enterprises.
