The practice is to implement the Ministry of Finance’s Circular 32/2011/TT-BTC dated March 14, 2011 guiding the creation, issuance and use of e-invoices for the sale of goods and provision of services. To that end, Petrolimex started carrying out the electronic billing project on May 19, 2015 and invited bids for selecting a prestigious and experienced solution supplier, that is the partnership VNPT-Vinaphone-Dakta. With the availability of the ERP-SAP management software and EGAS petrol station management system, Petrolimex’s electronic data is a prerequisite for the easy and accurate issuance of electronic invoices throughout the system.

Additionally, State management bodies will also find it more easier to search for information for examination purpose. The project benefits all, consumers, the State and enterprises as well.”

With the issuance of electronic invoices in the whole system, the supply of quality products such as diesel meeting EURO 5 emissions standards from January 2018 or petrol RON 95 meeting EURO 4 emissions standards from January 2017, Petrolimex asserts its leading position in providing high quality products and professional services.
