LHDN receives 328 million e-invoices from nearly 35,000 taxpayers since August 2024
LHDN tax operations department director (e-Invoice division) Dr Rasyidah Che Rosli said nearly 35,000 taxpayers had submitted e-invoices, including many who had adopted the system voluntarily ahead of their respective mandatory phases.
"This is a positive response from taxpayers under the first phase, as well as those in the second and third phases who have implemented e-invoicing voluntarily.
"The digital records via the e-Invoice system help prevent the loss or misplacement of documentation and will, in future, be integrated directly into taxpayers' return forms for greater efficiency and accuracy," she told reporters at the CTOS SME Biz Day 2025 Penang, held at the Setia Spice Convention Centre here today.
The event was officiated by Penang Deputy Chief Minister II Jagdeep Singh Deo, and was attended by more than 1,300 participants, including government representatives, industry experts and corporate leaders.
Meanwhile, Rasyidah said LHDN had granted an interim six-month relaxation period for each implementation phase involving taxpayers who are issuing consolidated e-invoices.
She said the board was also supporting taxpayers during the transition by providing guidelines and frequently asked questions on its e-Invoice microsite.
"LHDN also provides a transmission mechanism through an application programming interface (API) integrated with MyInvois, which allows taxpayers to either develop their own system or use the services of technology providers," she added.
Taxpayers may also submit their e-invoices via the MyInvois portal free of charge, and are encouraged to refer to the LHDN e-Invoice microsite for further guidance.
The e-Invoice system was implemented on Aug 1, 2024, for companies with annual sales exceeding RM100 million. The second phase began on Jan 1, 2025, for companies with annual sales between RM25 million and RM100 million.
On June 5, LHDN announced that taxpayers with income or annual sales below RM500,000 would be exempted from the e-Invoice requirement for now.
Implementation has been postponed to Jan 1, 2026, for those with earnings between RM1 million and RM5 million, while those with income up to RM1 million will begin on July 1, 2026.

[UPDATED] Govt allocates RM3mil for Intan to become regional centre of excellence
PUTRAJAYA: The government has allocated RM3 million to strengthen the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan) as a centre of excellence for public service in the Asian region and globally. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this includes a research and development (R&D) fund of RM1 million to enhance the capacity and capability of public officers in service delivery, particularly in new focus areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and post-quantum cryptography (PQC). Another RM1 million in R&D funding will be allocated to boost Intan's capability as a reference centre in governance and best values, human capital development, organisational management, service delivery, and best practices in public–private collaboration. The remaining RM1 million will support R&D for the publication and implementation of the Intan Country Report, similar to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and World Bank Reports, for the nation's public service. Anwar also announced that the APEL.Q @ Intan initiative, which was approved under the 2025 Budget, will continue in 2026 with an allocation of RM1.5 million.

Sabah launches eKahwin system to streamline Muslim marriage applications
Demonstration of the e-Perkahwinan portal. – Information Department photo KOTA KINABALU (Aug 15): The state government, through the Sabah Islamic Religious Affairs Department (JHEAINS), has launched the eKahwin system to simplify the marriage application process for Muslim couples in Sabah. Sabah Minister of Science, Technology, and Innovation, Datuk Mohd Arifin Arif, stated that since the implementation of the eKahwin system on August 1, 1,782 prospective couples have registered as users within one week. 'The eKahwin system demonstrates how JHEAINS leverages technology to serve the community without compromising Shariah law, administrative integrity, or human values,' he said. 'Applicants no longer need to queue or take time off work just to submit documents. Everything can be done at their fingertips, except for special cases requiring further scrutiny such as determining the wali (marriage guardian), verifying lineage status, or validating identification documents,' he announced at the launch ceremony of the eKahwin System and FPX Payment Platform today. He added that integrating the FPX platform enables fast, secure and transparent online payment of service fees while reducing cash transaction risks and delays. 'This system ensures marriage procedures are more organized, systematic and accountable. After the marriage solemnization is registered, couples will receive a valid digital marriage certificate before the physical copy is issued. Its authenticity can be verified via the e-Validator app,' he explained. 'The launch of eKahwin and FPX is just the beginning of digitizing Islamic services in Sabah. We must continue innovating, strengthening data security, addressing shortcomings and listening to public feedback. Our vision is clear: to position Sabah as a leading state in digital transformation for Islamic marriage management.' Meanwhile, JHEAINS director Datuk Jumain Abdul Ghani shared that Thalassemia screening — a mandatory requirement for marriage applications — is still under the department's review and planning. Also present were Sabah Islamic Religious Council (MUIS) chairman Datuk Seri Panglima Yahya Hussin and Sabah Baitulmal Corporation chairman Datuk Dr Omar Raisul Assalam Syah Sulaiman Omar.
