Attention fellow business owners in Malaysia! Starting on 1st August 2024, the Inland Revenue Board (LHDNM) will launch a brand-new electronic invoice (e-Invoice) system. This initiative will require all businesses registered in Malaysia to generate e-invoices for all transactions.

In case you didn’t know, an e-Invoice is a digital record of transaction data for your daily business operations, replacing traditional paper invoices, credit notes, and debit notes. It applies to all commercial activities, including Business to Business (B2B), Business to Customer (B2C), and Business to Government (B2G)

Not sure how it works? Don’t worry! This article will guide you through everything you need to know to get started. 

 

1. Mark your calendar for the implementation timeline

The introduction of e-Invoice has been carefully planned by LHDNM, taking into account the turnover and revenue thresholds, so that taxpayers have ample time to prepare and adjust to the new system. To ensure a smooth transition, the new system will be rolled out in phases:

  • From 1st August 2024: Taxpayers with an annual turnover or revenue exceeding RM 100 million.
  • From 1st January 2025: Taxpayers with an annual turnover or revenue from RM 25 million up to RM 100 million.
  • From 1st July 2025: All taxpayers engaged in commercial transactions.

2. There are two transmission mechanisms 

With two transmission mechanisms available, taxpayers can pick the most suitable way to report e-Invoices to LHDNM, depending on what best fits their business needs:

  • MyInvois Portal (hosted by LHDNM)

This portal can be accessed by all businesses and is suitable for a small amount of data. Hence, it can be especially handy for Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprises (MSMEs).

  • Application Programming Interface (API)

An API is a set of programming codes that transfers data directly between your system and the MyInvois system. While it requires an initial investment in technology and adjustments to your existing setup, it’s perfect for larger businesses with high transaction volumes.
