Use this page to prepare a Vietnam invoice for goods or services, especially when you need a clean VAT invoice structure before sending it to a buyer. The finished invoice should identify both parties, describe each item sold, show the correct tax treatment, and give the buyer a clear total payable in Vietnamese dong unless foreign-currency invoicing is legally permitted.
Vietnam has used mandatory e-invoicing for most taxpayers under the declaration method since July 1, 2022, except for limited cases. That does not make the invoice content optional. A compliant invoice still needs the invoice name, symbol or form information, number, issuance date, seller details, buyer details, tax identification numbers where required, line-item data, VAT details, and total payable.
A Vietnam VAT invoice should show the seller's name, address, and tax identification number. It should also show the buyer's name and address, plus the buyer's tax identification number where the buyer has one. The invoice name, invoice symbol or form information, and invoice number help identify the document and keep it trackable in sequence.
Each line item needs a description, unit of measure, quantity, unit price, and amount before tax where VAT invoicing applies. For VAT invoices, add the pre-tax amount, 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.
Vietnam invoice text is required in Vietnamese. A foreign-language translation may appear on the invoice where needed, but it does not replace the Vietnamese text. This matters when you invoice an overseas customer, send a bilingual PDF for approval, or attach an invoice to accounting records that local staff must review.
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 treating currency choice as a customer preference. In Vietnam, currency presentation belongs with tax and foreign-exchange compliance, so confirm the permitted format before issuing the final invoice.
A one-off invoice tool works when you need a single Vietnam invoice, know the buyer details, and already have the service lines, quantities, prices, VAT treatment, and payment terms ready. It is also enough for a draft invoice that an accountant will review before e-invoice issuance or accounting entry.
A managed workflow fits recurring client work, service retainers, and project billing. Everhour supports billable and non-billable time through project billing status, task-level non-billable controls, custom task rates, member-rate exceptions, and admin reports for billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost. That structure keeps the invoice source data clear before VAT, language, and currency checks happen.

Vietnam generally requires businesses, economic organizations, business households, and individuals paying tax under the declaration method to use e-invoices from July 1, 2022, except for limited cases. The e-invoice rule affects issuance format, but the invoice still needs the required content fields, including party details, tax identification numbers, invoice identifiers, issuance date, line items, VAT details, and total payable.
Vietnam invoices use VAT for taxable supplies. 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. Use the rate that applies to the specific supply, and show the pre-tax amount, VAT rate, VAT amount, and total payable where VAT invoicing applies.
No. Vietnam invoice text is required in Vietnamese. A foreign-language translation may be added where needed, but it does not replace the Vietnamese invoice text. For bilingual customer approval, keep the Vietnamese fields complete and use the foreign-language text as a translation layer, not as the primary legal invoice language.
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. Treat the currency decision as a compliance issue, especially for cross-border work, rather than a formatting preference.
Buyer rework usually starts with missing tax identification numbers, incomplete line-item descriptions, unclear units, or a VAT total that does not match the pre-tax amount and rate. Add the invoice name, symbol or form information, invoice number, issuance date, seller and buyer names, addresses, tax identification numbers where required, and the complete VAT amount breakdown before sending.
Everhour lets admins set project billing status, mark specific tasks as non-billable, apply custom task rates, and set member-rate exceptions. Reports can show billable time, non-billable time, billable amount, and cost, so Vietnam invoice preparation starts from reviewed billing data instead of mixed project activity.
Everhour turns tracked billable time and expenses into invoices, with invoice amounts calculated from rates, time, and billable expenses while excluding non-billable work. Invoice line items can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or other available breakdowns, which helps match the client's review format.
Use Everhour to separate billable work from internal time, review billable amounts, and prepare cleaner invoice data before Vietnam VAT and e-invoice checks.
