If the buyer's address on the sales invoice is too long, can it be abbreviated in Vietnam? How to write the seller's address on invoices in Vietnam?
Hello, my company has made a sales invoice for a customer, but the customer's address line on the invoice is short and the customer's address is long, so if I write it all out, it's not enough. So can we abbreviate the customer's address? Please advise.
If the buyer's address on the sales invoice is too long, can it be abbreviated in Vietnam?
Pursuant to Clause 5, Article 10 of Decree 123/2020/ND-CP stipulating the buyer's address on the invoice as follows:
5. The buyer’s name, address and TIN
a) If the buyer is a business establishment that has a TIN, the buyer’s name, address and TIN shall be written on the invoice shall be same as those written on the certificate of enterprise registration, certificate of branch registration, certificate of household business registration, taxpayer registration certificate, TIN notification, investment registration certificate, or certificate of cooperative registration.
If the buyer’s name or address is too long, the seller may shorten some common nouns (such as P instead of “Phường” (ward), Q instead of “Quận” (district), TP instead of “Thành Phố” (city), TNHH instead of “Trách nhiệm Hữu hạn" (limited liability), KCN instead of “khu công nghiệp” (industrial park), SX instead of “sản xuất” (manufacturing/ production), CN instead of “Chi nhánh” (branch), etc.) as long as the house number, names of the street, ward, district, city, name of the company are written and conformable with business registration or tax registration of the company.
b) If the buyer does not have a TIN, the invoice will not have the buyer's TIN. In case of sale of special goods/services to an individual mentioned in Clause 14 of this Article, the buyer’s name and address are not mandatory on the invoice. In case of sale of goods/services to a foreigner in Vietnam, the buyer’s information and address may be replaced with information in his/her passport or travel document and his/her nationality.
Thus, if the address of the customer purchased on the sales invoice is long, you can shorten some common nouns as above as long as the house number, names of the street, ward, district, city, name of the company are written and conformable with business registration or tax registration of the company in Vietnam.
