Malaysia Expands E-Invoicing Requirements to Broader Scope

• Effective 1 January 2026, Malaysia requires individual e-invoices for electricity distribution and supply, and telecommunications services including postpaid plans, internet subscriptions, and electronic device sales, expanding the scope of mandatory e-invoicing.

• Businesses in the newly added sectors must collect complete buyer information, issue separate e-invoices for each transaction, and ensure their systems comply with the updated e-invoicing requirements by the implementation date.

• The phased e-invoicing rollout includes a six-month relaxation period for each taxpayer group, allowing consolidated invoices temporarily, while Malaysia continues expanding mandatory e-invoicing and e-reporting based on annual turnover thresholds.
