E-Invoicing Malaysia - Are You Ready?

Introduction

An e-Invoice is a digital representation of a transaction between a supplier and a buyer. e-Invoice replaces paper or electronic documents such as invoices, credit notes, and debit notes.

An e-Invoice contains the same essential information as a traditional document, for example, supplier’s and buyer’s details, item description, quantity, price excluding tax, tax, and total amount, which records transaction data for daily business operations.

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Malaysia?

Malaysia will introduce a countrywide e-invoicing mandate in June 2024.

The Malaysian government plans to introduce a Centralized Pre-Clearance CTC model on all transactions to increase efficiency and strengthen the tax administration. A gradual introduction of the obligation will commence in June 2024 and end in 2027.

To ensure that businesses are ready for the implementation of e-Invoice in the upcoming months, here are a few key steps that can be carried out to assess readiness and standardisation:

1. Allocate and equip personnel with the necessary capabilities to adopt and oversee the implementation of e-Invoice;

2. Determine the availability of data sources and structure, current IT capabilities to support system readiness and processes to comply with e-Invoice requirements and obligations; and

3. Review current processes in issuing transaction documents (i.e., invoice, debit note, credit note, refund note).
