3. Allow Interim Relaxation Period Until

To support a smooth transition to e-Invoicing, the Government of Malaysia announced on 26 July 2024 a six-month grace period following each phase’s mandatory start date

During the six-month relaxation period, the Government of Malaysia allows taxpayers to:

• Issue consolidated e-Invoices for all activities and transactions (including industries listed in Section 3.7 of the e-Invoice Specific Guideline)
• Issue consilidated self-billed e-Invoices for all self-billing cases (Section 8.3)
• Enter any details in the “Description of Product or Service” field. Receipt/Statement/Bill reference numbers are not mandatory
• Skip individual e-Invoices (or self-billed e-Invoices), even if requested by the buyer/supplier–provided items (1) or (2) are followed

The IRBM will also not take prosecution action under Section 120 of the Income Tax Act 1367 during this period, as long as taxpayers comply with (1) and (2)

4. Allow to Create Consolidated e-Invoice

• Check the box of “Allow to create Consolidated e-Invoice” if your industry regulations permit it
• If this option is turned off, then every invoice must provide a Tax Entity so that it can be submitted for e-Invoice

5. Consolidated e-Invoice Detail Line Limit

This setting helps manage the 300KB file size limit when submitting consolidated e-Invoices. If you encounter errors during submission, try reducing the line limit. By default, this setting is set to 250 lines

6. Use Today’s Date as Submission Date when Document Date is Not a Valid Submission Date

Check this function if you want the system to automatically use today date as the e-Invoice issue date whenever the original Document Date is not valid for submission

(Document Date earlier than 3 days or future date)

Example: If this option is checked, and you create an e-Invoice with Document Date = 1/7/2025while today is 24/7/2025, the system will automatically use 24/7/2025 as the e-Invoice submission date when you save the document

7. Enable Edit Validated e-Invoice within 72 hours Mechanism

• When disabled, only e-Invoice related fields can be edited
• This setting is checked by default. If you do not wish to run this mechanism, kidly uncheck it
