An action to create civilized consumption habits, contributing to preventing loss of state budget revenue

Up to now, 100% of enterprises and petrol stations in Quang Tri province have issued electronic invoices (E-invoices) for each sale, as well as enterprises and business establishments in industries that have implemented E-invoices generated from cash registers that have registered to use E-invoices.

However, in reality, most consumers still do not have the habit of taking and keeping invoices and still pay mainly in cash. It is important to understand that taking invoices for goods and services from consumers not only brings benefits to themselves but also helps tax authorities manage effectively, transparently and prevent loss of state budget revenue.

To facilitate taxpayers in issuing invoices to buyers, avoid cases of false declaration or non-voluntary declaration, and at the same time, buyers can receive electronic invoices immediately upon payment, Quang Tri Tax Department has resolutely implemented specific solutions for each business organization and business household subject to applying electronic invoices with tax authority codes, initiated from cash registers with electronic data transfer connection to tax authorities, avoiding the situation where sellers refuse to issue invoices.

Benefits of using electronic invoices when purchasing goods and services

When purchasing goods and services, the buyer indirectly, through the seller, contributes to the state budget by paying taxes, contributing to the development of economic and social activities. Therefore, requiring the seller to issue an invoice when purchasing goods and services will ensure full declaration and payment of taxes on behalf of the buyer in accordance with the law.

Obtaining electronic invoices also ensures the rights of buyers, which are protected by law in commercial transactions such as after-sales services or disputes and complaints about product quality. Buyers are guaranteed obligations related to the seller's warranty responsibilities in case the goods do not meet quality standards or are damaged. This also contributes to creating civilized consumption habits for the whole society, preventing loss of state budget revenue, and at the same time accelerating the application of electronic invoices, supporting people and businesses in using electronic invoices quickly and conveniently.

“Lucky Bill” Program: Handheld Bill - Win Prizes Immediately

Electronic invoices and electronic invoices with tax authority codes generated from cash registers can participate in the "Lucky Invoice" program regularly organized by the Tax Department. The "Lucky Invoice" program is implemented according to the principle of randomly selecting taxpayers' invoices managed by the Tax Department on the centralized electronic invoice system of the tax industry, ensuring that the selection of winning invoices is objective, public, transparent, and closely monitored by the Supervisory Council.

Up to now, Quang Tri Tax Department has successfully organized 8 lucky draw sessions of the program "Lucky Invoice" with more than 150,000 electronic invoices with tax authority codes (including: electronic invoices with tax authority codes, electronic invoices with tax authority codes generated from cash registers) with buyers of goods and services being individuals and business households. There have been a total of 143 lucky individuals and business households who have won and received valuable prizes at the program.

In the coming time, the "Lucky Invoice" program will be regularly organized by the Tax Department with a structure of many valuable and attractive prizes, specifically as follows: 1 First prize worth 5 million VND; 2 Second prizes, each worth 3 million VND; 3 Third prizes, each worth 2 million VND and 13 Encouragement prizes, each worth 1 million VND.

It can be seen that the biggest goal of applying electronic invoices is to prevent fraud in invoices, declarations, tax evasion, and tax fraud. To promote the effectiveness of electronic invoices, in addition to drastic implementation solutions of the tax sector, there is also the coordination of a third party, which is consumers, especially in the retail stage, which will be an important factor contributing to consumers exercising the right to monitor the implementation of tax obligations of businesses and sellers.
