The government, through the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (HASiL), continues to demonstrate its commitment to ensuring that the implementation of e-Invoicing in Malaysia runs smoothly and remains business-friendly, particularly for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).

This commitment was demonstrated through the organisation of a HASiL Engagement Session with trade associations, which brought together 21 representatives from chambers of commerce and business associations around the Klang Valley. The session was held in Cyberjaya on 22 December.

The session served as an open discussion platform between the government and the business community to directly address taxation issues and the challenges of implementing e-Invoicing.

Among the government initiatives that garnered attention was the increase in the e-Invoicing exemption threshold from an annual income of RM500,000 to RM1 million and below, effective from 1 January 2026.

This move will undoubtedly bring relief to micro and small enterprises that are still in the process of stabilising their business operations, while also giving them more time to gradually streamline their transaction management.

The increase in the threshold also aims to reduce the cost burden of implementing e-Invoicing systems for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

HASiL Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Dr Abu Tariq Jamaluddin, explained that continuous engagement is crucial to ensure that the implementation of e-Invoicing is not only effective but also aligned with current business realities.

According to him, the government does not want e-Invoicing to be perceived as a burden, but rather as a step towards more structured and efficient digitalisation.

Although currently exempted, micro and small enterprises are still encouraged to adopt e-Invoicing on a voluntary basis.

This is because it can help businesses digitise their operations, improve efficiency, and simplify record-keeping and tax compliance in the long term.

The implementation of e-Invoicing has been carried out in phases since 1 August 2024 and has now entered Phase 4, involving taxpayers with annual income or sales of up to RM5 million.

So far, the response to the system has been very positive, with more than 820 million e-Invoices issued and participation from over 111,600 taxpayers, including those who have adopted e-Invoicing voluntarily.

To ensure a smooth transition to this new system, the government has also provided various support facilities, such as:

• MyInvois Portal
• MyInvois mobile application
• MyInvois e-POS
• QR code function for tax payments
• Tax Identification Number (TIN) search
• e-Invoicing service counters at 35 HASiL offices nationwide

HASiL will also continue to intensify awareness and education efforts related to e-Invoicing, as well as strengthen engagement sessions with stakeholders.

This approach is in line with the government’s aspiration to build a more progressive, inclusive and sustainable taxation and business ecosystem, without sidelining the real needs of industry players.
