- An increasing number of nations are embracing e-invoicing, and this transition is making waves across the EU and Asia.
- Malaysia is undergoing a significant shift towards mandatory electronic invoicing to support digitization, improve service quality, and increase business efficiency.
- Currently, e-invoicing in Malaysia is voluntary in B2B or B2G transactions, but a new national e-invoicing system is set to come into effect in 2024 to capture more sales tax.
- The new system will apply to all tax-registered businesses and government entities, covering various transaction types.
- The implementation timeline starts in August 2024 for businesses with a turnover greater than 100 million MYR, and it becomes mandatory for all businesses by July 2025.
- The e-invoicing process involves invoice issuance, conversion to XML format, verification and clearance, QR code attachment, sending the invoice to the buyer, and archiving.
- Businesses operating in Malaysia should identify the relevant implementation date as part of their strategy plan for mandatory e-invoicing.
