Use this page to prepare a Vietnam invoice for goods or services sold to a local or foreign buyer. The practical goal is a clean document with seller and buyer details, tax identification numbers where applicable, itemized charges, VAT treatment, and a total payable in Vietnamese dong unless foreign-currency invoicing is legally permitted.
Vietnam has used mandatory e-invoicing for most businesses, economic organizations, business households, and individuals paying tax under the declaration method since July 1, 2022, except for limited cases. A generated invoice still needs the same commercial discipline: correct parties, correct invoice identity fields, correct tax treatment, and totals that match the deal.
A compliant Vietnamese invoice must show the invoice name, invoice symbol or form information, and invoice number. It also needs the issuance date, seller name and address, seller tax identification number, buyer name and address, and the buyer tax identification number where the buyer has one.
Line items should identify the goods or services supplied and show description, unit of measure, quantity, unit price, and amount before tax where VAT invoicing applies. For VAT invoices, include the pre-tax amount, applicable VAT rate, VAT amount, and total payable including VAT. Vietnam VAT rates are 0%, 5%, 10%, or exempt depending on the goods or services, with a temporary 2-percentage-point reduction for certain goods and services from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026.
Vietnamese invoice text is required in Vietnamese. A foreign-language translation can appear on the invoice where needed, but it should support the Vietnamese text rather than replace it. This matters for exporters, foreign-owned companies, and service providers billing international clients from Vietnam.
Invoices are generally stated in Vietnamese dong. Foreign-currency invoices may be used where permitted under foreign-exchange rules and converted or presented as required by Vietnam invoice regulations. A common mistake is sending a client-friendly foreign-currency invoice without checking whether the transaction qualifies and how the VND conversion should appear.
A free invoice generator works well for a single Vietnam invoice when you already know the buyer details, tax identification numbers, VAT treatment, line items, and payment terms. It can also help you draft a document before entering the final e-invoice into the approved system.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when billable time, expenses, approvals, and reporting feed repeated invoices. Everhour reporting gives teams customizable reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports, so invoice preparation starts from reviewed billing data instead of scattered notes or manual timesheets.

Vietnam invoices use VAT for taxable supplies. The applicable treatment depends on the goods or services: 0%, 5%, 10%, exempt, or a temporary reduced rate for certain goods and services from July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2026. The invoice should show the pre-tax amount, VAT rate, VAT amount, and total payable when VAT invoicing applies.
Vietnam invoice content rules require the seller's tax identification number. The buyer's tax identification number also belongs on the invoice where the buyer has a tax identification number. Names and addresses for both parties should appear with those tax details so the transaction can be matched to the correct seller and buyer.
No. Invoice text is required in Vietnamese. A foreign-language translation may be added where needed, but the Vietnamese text remains the required invoice language. For cross-border clients, use the translation to clarify line items, payment terms, and buyer-facing descriptions without removing the Vietnamese invoice content.
Vietnam invoices are generally stated in Vietnamese dong. Foreign-currency invoices may be used where permitted under foreign-exchange rules and converted or presented as required by Vietnam invoice regulations. Confirm the currency treatment before issuing the invoice, especially for export services, foreign clients, or contracts priced outside VND.
The invoice name, invoice symbol or form information, invoice number, and issuance date help identify and track the document. E-invoices may also carry the time of digital signing or a tax authority code depending on invoice type. Missing identity fields create reconciliation problems even when the commercial amounts are correct.
Everhour reporting lets teams build billing reports with columns, grouping, filters, date ranges, and exports before invoice data is finalized. A manager can review billable time, costs, invoice status, project details, and client work in one report, then use the reviewed numbers to prepare consistent invoice backup.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing can turn tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, calculate amounts from rates and billable expenses, and mark invoiced time so it does not appear again in future invoices. That protects recurring client billing from duplicate time entries and missed uninvoiced work.
Use Everhour reporting to review billable work, export clean billing data, and keep invoice preparation tied to project records, rates, and client-ready totals.
