Starting July 1, consumers in Vietnam can report businesses that do not issue electronic invoices and potentially receive a reward of up to 10 million VND. This measure is part of a broader effort to encourage compliance with the government's electronic invoicing regulations.

The initiative allows individuals to notify authorities about businesses that fail to provide electronic invoices, which are mandatory under current laws. By incentivizing consumers to report such violations, the government hopes to improve transparency and accountability in business transactions.

Electronic invoices are designed to streamline the invoicing process, reduce tax evasion, and enhance the efficiency of tax collection. The move towards electronic invoicing is part of Vietnam's digital transformation strategy, which aims to modernize various sectors, including taxation.

Consumers who wish to report a violation can do so through designated channels set up by the tax authorities. Upon verification of the report, the whistleblower may receive a reward, which serves as an encouragement for public participation in the enforcement of tax regulations.

This policy aligns with global trends towards digitalization in business practices and aims to foster a fairer business environment by holding non-compliant businesses accountable.
