E-Invoicing Malaysia 2025: Step-by-Step Guide to Stay LHDN Compliant
Starting in 2025, LHDN (Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia) will make E-Invoicing mandatory for all businesses — from large corporations to small SMEs.
If you’re wondering what to do, how to prepare, and what system you need, this guide will walk you through everything step by step.
What Is LHDN E-Invoicing?
E-Invoicing is a system where every invoice you issue must be digitally submitted to LHDN for validation before reaching your customer.
This ensures every transaction is transparent, accurate, and tax-compliant.
It’s part of Malaysia’s push toward digital tax reporting and smarter business operations.
Who Needs to Implement E-Invoicing in 2025
By July 2025, all businesses — regardless of size or industry — must issue e-invoices for:
- Sales and purchases
- Services and professional fees
- Credit and debit notes
- Employee expense claims
That includes sole proprietors, partnerships, and SMEs.
Step-by-Step: How to Stay LHDN Compliant
Step 1: Understand the Requirements
Visit the official LHDN e-invoicing portal to review technical and business guidelines.
Identify how many invoices you issue monthly and your system’s integration needs.
Step 2: Choose an E-Invoicing-Ready System

- Generate e-invoices in LHDN’s approved format
