LHDN E-Invoicing

Also known as electronic invoicing, this feature allows you to send compliant e-invoices to your buyers by reporting them to LHDN and validating them before distribution. It enables near real-time validation and storage of transactions, catering to Business-to-Business (B2B), Business-to-Consumer (B2C), and Business-to-Government (B2G) transactions. It also allows for instant syncing of customer and supplier contacts. 

1. Setup your profile and other system parameters

• As a supplier, you are required to fill up your business details i.e. MSIC Code and Business Activity.
• You will also need to update the IRD field with your latest TIN number if it is applicable.

      • For 'Malaysian Individual', provide either TIN or NRIC Number, or both TIN and NRIC Number.
      • For 'Foreign Contact' or 'Exempted Person', both TIN and Registration No. are optional.

      • For Supplier perspective, similar information is also required for self-billed invoices.
    •
