As of August 2024, e-invoicing was made mandatory for businesses with an annual turnover exceeding RM100 million. Under the continuous transaction control (CTC) model, businesses must validate e-invoices with Malaysia’s tax authority and report specific transactions. By 2025, this mandate will expand to all commercial entities in Malaysia.

Standard E-Invoicing
Solutions Aren’t Enough

Most e-invoicing solutions in the market are ‘Standard Configurations’, having been designed only to meet LHDN's minimum requirements. These systems transmit data for validation and return the results—but what happens when issues arise?

Limitations

  • Error Identification
    Does the system pinpoint errors within the fields?
  • Error Resolution
    Without automated identification, will your finance team need to manually check?
  • Scalability
    Handling errors manually for one transaction may seem feasible, but what about 1,000?
  • Resource Strain
    How many more employees will be required to manage such a process?

Questions To Ask BEFORE Choosing A Solution

  • Cost: How much will it cost to adapt existing systems?
  • Resources: Will additional staff or training be needed?
  • Compliance: Is there a clear framework to follow?
  • Data Collection: How do I ensure all mandatory fields are collected?
  • Evolving Requirements: How often will LHDN enhance their policy and requirements, and what are the costs of staying compliant?
