Resolutely and effectively implement electronic invoicing for retail gasoline and oil

Hanoi residents buy gasoline and oil at a gasoline and oil business location.

According to the General Department of Taxation, by December 19, a number of tax departments had urgently and actively implemented solutions to promote businesses and retail stores selling gasoline in the area to issue electronic invoices after each sale, such as advising the People's Committee to issue documents directing departments, branches, and gasoline trading units in the locality; coordinating with departments and branches to organize work and dialogue with gasoline trading units...

However, the dispatch clearly stated that there are still some tax departments that have not properly assessed the importance and have not resolutely implemented the direction of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance in implementing the issuance of electronic invoices after each sale for retail gasoline and oil businesses according to the provisions of the Tax Administration Law No. 38/2019/QH14, Decree No. 123/2020/ND-CP dated October 19, 2020 regulating invoices and documents of the Government. In addition, they have not yet reviewed and fully and accurately compiled the implementation status in localities, the number of businesses and stores that have or have not issued electronic invoices for each sale to have appropriate solutions.

The dispatch clearly stated that the implementation of the tax departments basically only stopped at the propaganda level, without assigning specific tasks to each department and each management officer to implement the direction of the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance and the General Department of Taxation.

Therefore, the Director General of the General Department of Taxation requests the Directors of the Provincial and Municipal Tax Departments to continue to direct and promptly carry out the tasks.

Specifically, for localities that do not have written instructions from the People's Committee, the tax department is responsible for advising the People's Committee to direct departments and branches to proactively coordinate with tax authorities to immediately deploy synchronous and effective solutions, and resolutely require retail gasoline businesses to issue electronic invoices after each sale in accordance with the provisions of law and the direction of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Finance.

At the same time, continue to closely coordinate with local departments and agencies to review and grasp the current status of infrastructure, equipment, and progress of electronic invoice implementation for each sale at each petrol station; immediately organize working sessions with petrol retail units, publicly invite solution providers to share successful implementation experiences and discuss effective solutions.

In addition, advise and propose to the Provincial and Municipal People's Committees to promptly remove difficulties and obstacles (if any) to successfully implement the issuance of electronic invoices for each sale for retail petroleum business activities in the area, ensuring progress according to the direction of the Prime Minister in the above-mentioned Official Dispatch No. 1284/CD-TTg.

In particular, the telegram clearly stated the need to disseminate policies and legal regulations on electronic invoices to each enterprise and retail store of gasoline so that units clearly understand, fully perceive their responsibilities and commit to issuing electronic invoices after each sale according to regulations.

Previously, on December 1, 2023, the Prime Minister issued Official Dispatch No. 1284/CDTTg requesting ministries, branches and localities to strengthen the management and use of electronic invoices for petroleum retail business activities; completion time is December 2023.

Implementing the direction of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Finance issued Official Dispatch No. 13348/BTC-TCT dated December 4, 2023 requesting the Chairman of the People's Committee of the province and centrally-run city to pay attention to directing and closely and regularly coordinating with the Ministry of Finance in implementing electronic invoices for the retail business of petroleum.

The General Department of Taxation also issued Official Dispatch No. 5080/TCT-DNL dated November 13, 2023, Official Dispatch No. 5468/TCT-DNL dated December 5, 2023 directing the Tax Departments of provinces and centrally run cities to advise the People's Committees to direct local agencies and branches to coordinate with tax authorities to urgently deploy to enterprises and retail stores selling gasoline to issue electronic invoices after each sale according to regulations.
