Malaysia uses an invoice format based on the Universal Business Language (UBL 2.1). There are several deviations from the standard UBL.

Mandate

The government of Malaysia, by means of the intermediary of its Tax Authority, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) is currently implementing an e-invoicing mandate that applies to all types of transactions (B2G, B2B, and B2C).

The mandate will gradually enter into effect depending on the participant company's revenue:

  • August 1, 2024 (current phase): Mandatory for companies exceeding RM 100 million annual turnover (~20M€).
  • January 1, 2025: Mandatory for companies exceeding RM 25 million annual turnover (~5M€).
  • July 1, 2025: Mandatory for all companies.

Under this mandate, suppliers must submit all invoices to the MyInvois central platform, either manually via a web interface or automatically through an API in UBL 2.1 format (XML or JSON).
