Shitty reporting. Implementation date for annual revenue under RM1 million was to be effective from July 1 2026, not Jan 1. There is no news that the Jan 1 2026 deadline is being changed for those between 1 million to 5 million. This kind of news is going to make lots of people confused again.

Thats why this statement was wrong lor:

"The government has decided to exempt businesses with annual revenue under RM1 million from e-invoicing, which comes into effect on Jan 1."

Not to mentioned the rules kept being tweaked since day 1 until now. More rules added as time goes on. Once you are in it, you have to keep on dealing with new changes. LHDN will keep on telling you new deadlines for this rule and that rule. That's why I can pity those small companies which have limited resources.

As if any political party will dare to announce they are planning to cancel e-invoice in their political campaign. I doubt it. It will be here forever. Otherwise EU and other western countries gonna keep pestering you that you are not in line with their modern practices.

Jan 2026 is the deadline for all companies with >1 million. Once they start to implement, no point to remove already.

10 years too long, anything can happen. Maybe k will become a very quiet place before that

That's simplification of all possible scenarions. Business will try to optimize the cost saving by purchasing more when there is an advantages, such as the raw materials are cheaper, forex is strong etc etc, and then expects the produced goods to be sold over a longer period. Only those perishable and food related business have short time window to convert input goods into output goods. Not every business behave that way. Many businesses can hold stocks for several months before order again.

Starting 1 Jan 2026, there is this new rule on e-invoice that if anyone wants to make a purchase worth more than RM10K, the company must produce a single e-invoice on this customer. And to produce a single e-invoice, it will be necessary to obtain customer information such as IC and contact number. The business cannot simply enter any "dummy" IC number as a workaround because LHDN will check for its validity and reject the invoice. So what this means is, for those retailing companies, when a customer happens to make a purchase worth of > 10K in value, the companies will have to ask the customer to show the IC number and provide a contact number to be recorded for e-invoice submission purpose.

It sounds good on paper, allowing LHDN to have better idea of who is spending relatively large sum of money.

But it is always possible that some customers will be surprised or offended by such requirements, and make a fuss on the spot. What do you think the company will do? Reject the customer purchase on the spot? Just think about it. I will let you think this through yourself.

As for those people who wonders how foreigners are able to provide IC, the answer is already in the guidelines. For those people who are not aware of the solution, it just means that there are many rules you have to remember and many people find it difficult to understand and remember all of them.

Already said many times even if bring back GST is successful, that does not mean e-invoice will go away. You think those other political parties are going to remove e-invoice? No one has dare to say a thing and that shows you what the outcome is.

Actually the only reason is because the west wants to do it, so everyone else must follow.

Try not doing it and see what happens in the future. Only USA can act different. The rest gonna get a low score from the west rating agency for being outdated. Ready for a rating downgrade?


The world:
1. European Union – ViDA and Country-Specific Mandates
2. United States – Voluntary Adoption on the Rise
3. Latin America – A Pioneer in E-Invoicing
4. Asia-Pacific – Rapid Expansion of E-Invoicing
5. Middle East & Africa – Steady Progress in Compliance

You want to escape then go to Antarctica
