Vietnam VAT Invoice Guide (VND + Free PDF)

· · Reviewed by NestInvoice editorial team

A Vietnam VAT invoice should show the supplier tax code (mã số thuế) when required, plus clear net, VAT, and total in VND. Generators often start near 10% — that is a starter default, not advice for every supply. Official e-invoice rules may apply; this tool makes a readable client PDF, not a government submission. Do not copy Thailand or Indonesia rates onto VN invoices — use the hub /vn.

What to show

Supplier tax code, unique invoice number, dates, customer, description, net, VAT rate and amount, total in VND. Commercial checklist: what to include on an invoice.

Keep net/VAT/gross easy to read so the client’s books can post the document without guessing.

Rates and registration

Do not leave 10% on a reduced-rate or exempt supply. If you are not charging VAT, remove the Taxes line.

Cross-border B2B may need different treatment — confirm before sending. Neighbour defaults belong on /th or /id, not on VN invoices.

PDF vs official e-invoice

A clear PDF helps the client pay. It does not replace mandatory e-invoice channels when the law requires them. When the buyer needs a structured official document, treat this tool as a draft or annex.

Frequently asked questions

Is VAT always 10%?

10% is a common starter default in generators. Confirm the correct rate (or exemption) for your supply before locking the PDF.

Is this official e-invoicing?

No. Use authorized e-invoice systems when mandatory. Here you get a readable client PDF draft or attachment.

Same as Thailand or Indonesia?

No. Vietnam has its own rates and VND. Use [/vn](/vn), not only a TH or ID generator.

Where do I put the tax code?

Under From. Add the client tax code when required for your transaction type.

Quote or invoice?

A quote is a proposal. The invoice is the payment request — keep them separate in your records.
