An electronic invoice is the digitalization of transaction data between suppliers and buyers. It replaces paper or electronic documents such as invoices, credit notes, and debit notes. E-invoices cover typical transaction types in B2B, B2C, and B2G. For B2G transactions, the e-invoice process is similar to B2B. For B2C transactions, if the end consumer doesn't require an e-invoice for tax purposes, the supplier can issue a regular receipt or invoice following current practices. By the 7th of next month, suppliers need to issue consolidated e-invoices, reporting the total normal receipts or invoices issued to end consumers.
电子发票是供应商和买方之间交易的数字表示。电子发票取代了纸质或电子文档,例如发票、贷方票据和借方票据。
E-invoices apply to all taxpayers engaged in commercial activities in Malaysia. E-invoices contain basic information similar to traditional documents, recording transaction data for daily business operations, such as
电子发票包含相同的基本信息作为传统的文档它记录日常业务运营的交易数据,列如:
There are two situations that require issuing e-invoices:
1. Income proof: Whenever there is any sale or transaction, an e-invoice needs to be issued to confirm the taxpayer's income.
2. Expense proof: These documents cover the taxpayer's purchases or other expenditures, including returns and discounts. They can also be used to correct or subtract income based on recorded amounts.
Additionally, in certain situations, taxpayers must issue self-billed e-invoices to record expenses, such as foreign transactions. For example, if a taxpayer purchases goods and/or services from a foreign supplier who doesn't use the Malaysian MyInvois system to issue invoices, the taxpayer will need to issue a self-billed e-invoice to record the expenses.
需要开具电子发票的场景:
1.收入证明:在商家销售商品或发生其他交易时,需要发出的电子发票用于确认商家(纳税人)的收入,同时也能确保了交易的合法性和透明度。
2.费用证明:此类文件涵盖纳税人的购买或其他支出。它还包括退货和折扣。它还可用于根据记录的金额更正或减去收入收据。
此外,在某些情况下,纳税人必须开具自记电子发票来记录国外交易等费用。例如,如果纳税人从外国供应商处购买商品和/或服务,并从不使用马来西亚MyInvois系统的外国供应商处收到发票,则纳税人将需要开具自记式电子发票来记录费用。
E-invoice issuance requires 51 pieces of data, which can be categorized into nine (9) groups:
开具电子发票需要51个数据字段。这些字段分为九(9)个类别:
No. | Target Group | Implementation Schedule |
---|---|---|
1 | Taxpayers with annual turnover or income exceeding RM100 million | August 1, 2024 |
2 | Taxpayers with annual turnover or income exceeding RM25 million to RM100 million | January 1, 2025 |
3 | All other taxpayers | July 1, 2025 |
The annual turnover or income will be based on the audited financial statements or tax return forms for the year 2022 (as applicable). Once the implementation schedule for e-invoices is determined for a taxpayer, any subsequent changes in annual turnover or income will not alter the taxpayer's responsibility to implement e-invoices according to the above schedule. For new businesses or new transactions starting from 2023, the implementation date for e-invoices is July 1, 2025.
Types of e-invoices to be issued:
Example 1:
Mr. Jamal (supplier) sells 200 office chairs to Greenz Sdn. Bhd. (buyer) and issues an e-invoice for the transaction. Greenz Sdn. Bhd. pays RM2,000 for the purchase of 200 chairs (RM10 per chair). However, Greenz Sdn. Bhd. discovers that 8 sets of office chairs are defective and have been returned. Mr. Jamal issues a refund e-invoice of RM80 (i.e., RM10 X 8 for the defective chairs) to record the refund amount.

API (Electronic Invoice Software):
Procedure:
Invoice Generation: When a sale or transaction occurs, including adjustments to electronic invoices, the supplier needs to generate an electronic invoice and send it to IRBM for verification through MyInvoisPortal or API.
Invoice Verification: IRBM's verification process is nearly real-time, ensuring that electronic invoices meet specified regulations and requirements. After verification, IRBM provides the supplier with a unique ID number through MyInvoisPortal or API. This unique ID allows IRBM to track and reduce the chances of tampering.
Verification Notification: After verifying the electronic invoice through MyInvoisPortal or API, IRBM notifies both the buyer and seller.
Issuing the Invoice: After verification, the supplier needs to send the verified electronic invoice (with a QR code) to the buyer. This QR code, accessible through MyInvoisPortal, can be used to verify the existence and progress of the electronic invoice.
Rejection and Cancellation of Electronic Invoices: After issuing the electronic invoice, a certain period is given during which:
MyInvoisPortal: Buyers and sellers can use MyInvoisPortal to obtain transaction details related to electronic invoices.
电子发票适用于所有在马来西亚从事商业活动的纳税人。电子发票包含了B2B(企业对企业)、B2C(企业对个人)和B2G(企业对政府)等不同类型的交易。在B2G交易中,电子发票的流程与B2B相似。对于B2C,也就是企业对个人的交易,如果顾客不需要电子发票用于报税,供应商可以像以前一样提供正常的纸质收据或发票。但是在下个月的第7天前,供应商需要提供一份综合电子发票(ConsolidatedE-Invoice),报告向顾客提供的所有正常收据或发票的总额。
No. | Target Group | Implementation Schedule |
---|---|---|
1 | Taxpayers with annual turnover or income exceeding RM100 million | August 1, 2024 |
2 | Taxpayers with annual turnover or income exceeding RM25 million to RM100 million | January 1, 2025 |
3 | All other taxpayers | July 1, 2025 |

Ensure that the human resources are equipped with the capabilities required for the implementation and supervision of electronic invoicing.
Determine the availability of data sources and structures, assess the capability of the company's Information Technology department (IT department) to support the system's preparation, and ensure compliance with the requirements and processes of electronic invoicing.
