LHDN e-Invoice Readiness Checklist

12-point audit for Malaysian businesses — does your current setup pass?

Who this is for: Malaysian SMEs and enterprises that need to comply with LHDN's MyInvois e-Invoice mandate. Tick each box. Anything unchecked is a gap to close before your next phase goes live.

A Master Data

TIN captured for every customer and supplier

Including foreign entities (with country code) and individual consumers.

Business Registration Number (BRN) validated

SSM / ROC / ROB numbers recorded and cross-checked against IRBM format.

SST registration status flagged

Know which counterparties charge SST and which are out of scope.

B System & Integration

Your ERP / accounting software can generate UBL 2.1 XML

If not, you need a bridge (middleware) or a full system change.

API credentials with MyInvois configured and tested

Client ID / secret, TIN, digital certificate — all stored securely.

Workflow for rejected / cancelled e-Invoices in place

72-hour cancellation window, credit notes, re-issue flow — all documented.

C Special Scenarios

Self-Billed e-Invoice for unregistered suppliers

Foreign vendors, staff claims, individual service providers.

Consolidated e-Invoice for B2C transactions

Daily / monthly aggregation with correct summaries.

POS / e-commerce integration for real-time issuance

Shopee, Lazada, Shopify, in-store POS — connected to MyInvois.

D Compliance & Audit

Archive of submitted e-Invoices for 7 years

Per Income Tax Act 1967 — retrievable, signed, tamper-proof.

Team trained on new processes

Finance, sales admin, operations — everyone who touches invoices.

Monthly reconciliation between ERP and MyInvois

Submitted vs accepted vs rejected — discrepancies spotted fast.
