What is e-Invoicing in Malaysia?
Table of Contents
E-Invoicing in Malaysia is the electronic creation, submission, validation, and storage of invoice data through the system established by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN/HASiL). It replaces the exchange of invoice information solely through conventional documents with structured invoice data that can be validated electronically.
An e-Invoice contains transaction information in a prescribed format and is validated through MyInvois or an integrated system. Once validated, it can be shared with the buyer and retained as part of the business’s records.
Key points
- E-Invoicing is part of Malaysia’s tax digitalisation programme.
- Invoice data must follow the applicable LHDN/HASiL requirements.
- Validation takes place through MyInvois services.
- Businesses can use the MyInvois Portal or an API-connected solution, where appropriate.
- The applicable rules depend on the transaction and taxpayer’s circumstances.
