Since January 2025, LHDN has rolled out Phase 2 of the e-invoice implementation, and many mid-sized businesses are now required to comply. If you’re not sure what this means for you — or how to stay compliant — this post has your back.
We’ve rounded up the most frequently asked questions Malaysian businesses and taxpayers are asking about e-invoicing. Whether you’re selling online, managing B2B clients, or just getting started, this FAQ masterpost will help you make sense of it all.
E-Invoicing for Business Transactions
If you’re dealing with other businesses, e-invoicing will soon become the norm. Each invoice will need to be validated by LHDN, and customers will be able to check and verify these invoices through the MyInvois system.
Even for consumer transactions, like retail or services, e-invoicing applies — though you’ll usually issue a simplified version. The rules are slightly different depending on the nature of your business relationship, so it’s important to understand how each scenario works.
