The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) of Malaysia is setting a benchmark by integrating 4,000 businesses into the E-Invoicing system by August 2024, focusing on those with an annual turnover of RM 100 million. This transition to E-Invoicing will become universal for all business entities by July 2025, signaling a major shift in Malaysia's digital taxation landscape.
The E-Invoicing initiative is a cornerstone of Malaysia's digital agenda, anticipated to invigorate the economy and streamline tax collection efficiency. The system is designed to enhance invoicing accuracy and transparency, curtailing tax evasion and fraud.
Why E-Invoicing?
E-Invoicing is pivotal in Malaysia’s digital journey, aimed at reinforcing the economy and optimizing tax collection processes. It is designed to enhance invoice accuracy, prevent tax fraud, and promote a transparent financial ecosystem.
E-Invoice Essentials
Malaysia's LHDN E-Invoice is an advanced system that necessitates machine-readable formats like XML and JSON to ensure precise and authentic transactions. Every E-Invoice must undergo IRB's validation, featuring a QR code to facilitate real-time verification.
Quick Validation with E-Invoice
The CTC (Continuous Transaction Control) Model by IRBM guarantees swift validation, offering businesses immediate insights into their invoice compliance.
