E-Invoicing in Malaysia – Beginning
Malaysia’s tax office, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM), made the decision to mandate e-invoicing in March 2023 with a phase-wise implementation plan.
The goal of the Ministry of Finance with this move was to digitize and streamline tax administration operations in Malaysia.
Starting from 1st August 2024, the implementation of e-invoice in Malaysia is scheduled to be completed within 2 to 3 years, with 1 July 2025 determined as the estimated final date for implementation.
