Are VAT invoices required for exported goods, services ?
Hi DMS Attorney in Vietnam! My company is using the credit-invoice method to declare VAT. Could you advise me about use of VAT invoices ? Are VAT invoices required for exported goods, services ?
Hi!
VAT invoices:
VAT invoices (template 3.1 in Appendix 3 and template 5.1 in Appendix 5 enclosed herewith) are invoices used by organizations that declare and calculate VAT using the credit-invoice method for:
Domestic goods sale and service provision;
International transport;
Export of goods to free trade zones and other cases considered export.
Example:
Company A is a company that declares VAT using the credit-invoice method, sells goods in Vietnam and export goods. Company A shall use VAT invoices for its sales of goods in Vietnam (domestic sales) and not use VAT invoices for exportation (Clause 1 Article 5 Circular No. 119/2014/TT-BTC dated 08/25/2014).
Therefore, the enterprise shall not issue VAT invoices for exported goods./.
