An e-Invoice is a digital invoice used to record business transactions between sellers and buyers. In Malaysia, the e-Invoice system is introduced to improve tax transparency, accuracy, and digital tax reporting.
The system is managed by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) as part of Malaysia’s digital tax transformation.
Businesses must register and use the e-Invoice system to ensure they comply with Malaysian tax regulations.
What Is an e-Invoice?
An e-Invoice is an electronic version of a traditional invoice that is submitted to the tax authority for validation.
It contains information such as:
- Seller and buyer details
- Invoice number
- Transaction date
- Description of goods or services
- Total amount and tax details
Once validated by the system, the e-Invoice becomes an official record for tax purposes.

Who Needs to Register for e-Invoice?
Most businesses in Malaysia will eventually need to implement e-Invoicing according to the schedule announced by the
Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN).
This includes:
- Companies (Sdn Bhd or Berhad)
- Partnerships

The implementation is done in phases based on business annual revenue.
