Malaysia: New Validation Rules for E-Invoice Submissions

  • Stricter Validation Rules: The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia has announced new e-invoicing rules that introduce stricter field validations to improve data integrity. These updates specify valid formats and character limits for various fields in e-invoices.
  • Key Validation Requirements: The updated requirements include valid date formats (YYYY-MM-DD), character limits for fields such as supplier’s bank account number (150 characters), e-invoice code/number (50 characters), and payment terms (300 characters). Additionally, specific codes must be used for unit measurements and other fields.
  • Implementation Timeline: These changes will be implemented in the Sandbox environment starting December 15, 2025, and will take effect in the Production environment on January 9, 2026. Taxpayers are urged to update their systems accordingly to ensure compliance and successful processing of submissions.
