Electronic Invoicing in Malaysia
Is e-invoicing mandatory in Malaysia ?
The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) of Malaysia is rolling out e-Invoicing in phases starting from August 2024.
Malaysia's e-invoicing mandate aims to streamline invoicing processes, enhance transparency, and ensure compliance across all taxpayer segments.
The initiative applies to all Malaysian taxpayers engaged in commercial activities, covering domestic and international transactions across various sectors like B2G, B2B, and B2C.
Key Points:
E-Invoicing Mandate:
-
Implementation begins August 1, 2024, mandatory for taxpayers with an annual turnover exceeding RM100 million (Voluntary participation is encouraged regardless of turnover).
-
Phased rollout continues:
-
January 1, 2025: Mandatory for those with turnover between RM25 million and RM100 million.
-
July 1, 2025: Mandatory for all other taxpayers.
-
Process Description:
-
Invoices sent to government for verification and approval before reaching recipients.
-
Each invoice receives a certificate with a serial number and a QR code for authenticity.
-
Peppol (PINT) will be the preferred channel. Also, myTax portal will facilitate e-invoice exchange manually.
E-Invoice Issuance:
-
Supplier creates electronic invoice upon transaction, and send it to IRBM.
-
IRBM validates the invoice in real-time, providing a unique identifier for traceability.
-
Supplier must deliver the validated invoice with QR code to the buyer.
-
Both supplier and buyer receive notifications upon validation from IRBM.
