e-Invoice Implementation For Revenue Below RM5 Mln Deferred To Jan 1, 2026
KUALA LUMPUR, June 5 (Bernama) -- The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) today announced that the implementation phase for e-invoices for taxpayers with annual income or sales exceeding RM1 million but not exceeding RM5 million has been postponed to Jan 1, 2026. In a statement here, LHDN also announced that taxpayers with an annual income or sales below RM500,000 are exempted from the implementation of the e-Invoice system. "The implementation phase for taxpayers with annual income or sales up to RM1 million has been postponed to July 1, 2026," LHDN said. The board added that the decision was made after the government recognised the commitments of taxpayers, particularly Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), in meeting e-invoice legal requirements, which necessitate adequate preparation time and face numerous implementation challenges. The statement said that, in line with this decision, a new timeline for the e-invoice implementation phases has been established with Phase 3 targeting taxpayers with annual income or sales exceeding RM5 million but not exceeding RM25 million coming into effect on July 1, 2025. LHDN noted that Phase 4 will involve taxpayers with annual incomes or sales exceeding RM1 million up to RM5 million and will begin on Jan 1, 2026 while Phase 5 will cover the income group of up to RM1 million and will commence on July 1, 2026. The previously announced six-month grace period will also apply to these new phases, the agency said. It stressed that during this period, taxpayers will be permitted to issue consolidated e-invoices for all transactions, including self-billed e-invoices. Necessary details, it said, can be included in the 'Product or Service Description' field.
