## Frequently asked questions

**Can a household business issue VAT invoices?**
No. A household business pays VAT by the direct method, so it issues sales invoices, not VAT invoices; one with annual revenue above 1 billion đồng must use e-invoices. This is the single most important difference from a company and usually decides the choice.

**When should I convert to a company?**
When you need to invoice corporate customers, or want liability limited to your contributed capital.
