Nghe An and Thanh Hoa achieved 100% of the target on electronic gasoline invoices.

Automatic connection is a solution to automatically record data and information for each sale, transmit from the petrol meter to a computer with an Internet connection to issue electronic invoices (E-invoices) for each sale and transfer electronic invoice data to the tax authority regardless of whether the customer takes the invoice or not.

According to the report, by the end of March 15, 2025, 100% of gas stations operating in both Nghe An and Thanh Hoa provinces managed by Tax Department X have completed the target of applying automatic connection solutions to issue electronic invoices under the direction of the Government, Ministry of Finance, and Tax Department.

For example, it is known that Nghe An Petroleum Company (Petrolimex Nghe An) has 670 gas stations in Nghe An province. In 1 year, the company sells 831,000m³Domestic gasoline, of which 315,000m³in Nghe An province, 447,000m³Thanh Hoa, Quang Binh, Ha Tinh provinces and 9,000m³to Laos. In 2024, Nghe An Petroleum Company paid 660 billion VND in taxes, and in the first 2 months of 2025, it paid about 125 billion VND in taxes.

Up to now, for Petrolimex, taking invoices from customers when buying gasoline is only a basis when sales data has been connected to the tax authority. However, for other gasoline stores, not taking invoices from customers still affects the budget collection results.
