Malaysia e-Invoice Guideline

LHDN released the much-awaited guideline on the 21st of July 2023. There is a page on LHDN’s website that is dedicated to the e-Invoice initiative. You can obtain updates and news from LHDN from this site as illustrated.

Nevertheless, if you do not have access to the guide, please download it from the highlighted link below. There is an anticipation of further updates to the guide shortly; such as more information as to how retail-related invoices will be treated as compared to B2B transactions.

Furthermore, e-invoice will be implemented in phases to ensure a smooth transition. The roll-out of e-invoice has been planned with careful consideration, taking into account the turnover or revenue thresholds, providing businesses with sufficient time to adapt. The chart on the right is the tight e-invoice implementation timeline. As a result, please refer and act accordingly.

How does e-Invoice Compliance Works ?

This is an overview of the e-Invoice workflow from the point a sale is made or transaction is undertaken, and an e-Invoice is issued by the supplier via MyInvois Portal or API, up to the point of storing cleared e-Invoices on LHDNM’s database for taxpayers to view their respective historical e-Invoices.

Importantly, the focus of our solution is the e-invoice model via API.

API allows taxpayers to submit e-invoices directly to LHDNM. Simultaneously, Taxpayers would need to configure the API integration by setting up call-backs (specific taxpayers’ system addresses) and logging into the available LHDNM APIs via the Digital Certificate issued by LHDNM (authentication mechanisms).

The e-invoice structure has been, specifically, designed to cater to B2B, B2G, and B2C transactions to ease e-invoice procedures for businesses and individual taxpayers. The following formats will be available for the transmission of e-invoice data:

Firstly, Extensible Markup Language (XML): XML is defined as a simple text-based format for representing structured information. It is one of the most widely used formats for sharing field-structured information today. The syntax rules for XML are strict. It will not process files that contain errors and error messages will be sent to inform that rectification is required. Almost all XML documents can be processed reliably by computer software.

Secondly, is JavaScript Object Notation (JSON): JSON is a lightweight text-based data interchange format that is simpler to read and write as compared to XML. Though it is derived from a subset of JavaScript, it is language-independent. Therefore, the code for generating and parsing JSON data can be written in any other programming language.

Formats for transmission:

There are 58 data fields in SDK that are required to issue an e-Invoice. These fields are grouped into 8 categories:

1. Address

2. Business Details

3. Contact Number

4. Invoice Details

5. Parties

6. Party Details

7. Payment Info

8. Products / Services

In addition, for specific circumstances, an annex will be required to be submitted as part of the e-Invoice to LHDNM.

For drop shipment - export & import, an additional 2 mandatory data fields to be submitted.

XML

JSON
