Simplifying Taxes for Enhanced Tax Compliance
The Malaysian government is advancing the adoption of e-Invoicing among businesses. This strategic move is not only aimed at promoting tax compliance but also at harnessing the advantages of digitalizing various business operations. The adoption also emphasizes the crucial role of the e-Invoicing initiative in addressing tax revenue losses associated with the shadow economy.
By June 2024, businesses with annual sales exceeding RM100 million will be required to adopt e-Invoicing, signifying a significant leap towards modernizing financial practices and fostering a fair tax ecosystem.

This overview outlines the e-Invoice workflow, commencing with a transaction or sale, where the supplier issues an e-Invoice via the MyInvois Portal or API. The process extends to the storage of cleared e-Invoices in LHDNM's database, allowing taxpayers to access their historical e-Invoices. Our primary focus centers on the e-Invoice model facilitated through the API. The API empowers taxpayers to directly submit e-Invoices to LHDNM.
To configure the API integration, taxpayers set up call-backs (specific addresses within their systems) and access LHDNM APIs using the Digital Certificate issued by LHDNM as the authentication mechanism. The e-Invoice structure is thoughtfully designed to accommodate B2B, B2G, and B2C transactions, streamlining e-Invoice processes for both businesses and individual taxpayers.
Two formats are available for transmitting e-Invoice data:
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
XML is a text-based format for representing structured information, widely used for sharing structured data. XML syntax adheres to strict rules, rejecting files with errors and prompting rectification.
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
JSON is a lightweight, text-based data interchange format, easier to read and write compared to XML. It is language-independent, allowing JSON data code to be written in various programming languages.
