Do I Need e-Invoice?我需要做电子发票吗?
LHDN has been rolling out mandatory e-Invoicing in phases since August 2024. Whether it applies to you comes down to one number: your annual turnover.LHDN 自 2024年8月起分阶段强制推行电子发票。适不适用于你,只取决于一个数字:你的年营业额。

How this is calculated计算方式说明
What e-Invoicing actually changes
An e-Invoice is not a PDF emailed to your customer. It is a structured document submitted to LHDN, validated by them in near real time, and returned with a unique identifier number and a QR code. Only the validated version is a valid tax document.
That is the part most business owners miss. You can keep using invoicing software, but the software has to talk to MyInvois — either through the portal for low volumes, or an API integration for higher ones.
The rollout, by turnover
| Annual turnover | Mandatory from |
|---|---|
| Above RM100 million | 1 August 2024 |
| RM25 million – RM100 million | 1 January 2025 |
| RM5 million – RM25 million | 1 July 2025 |
| RM1 million – RM5 million | 1 January 2026 |
| Below RM1 million | Exempt |
The exemption threshold moved
This is the change worth knowing about. The exemption threshold was originally RM500,000. It was raised to RM1 million effective 1 January 2026, which pulled a large number of micro and small businesses back out of scope. If you checked a year ago and concluded you were in, check again.
The relaxation period
Each phase comes with a six-month grace window. During it you can issue consolidated e-Invoices rather than one per transaction, descriptions can be more general, and LHDN will not impose penalties under section 120 of the Income Tax Act 1967. Treat it as time to get your systems right, not as an extension of the deadline.
If you are exempt, you are not entirely unaffected
Two situations still touch you. First, a customer who is in scope may need to self-bill for purchases from you, and will ask for your business details. Second, crossing the RM1 million threshold in a later financial year brings you into scope, so this is worth rechecking annually rather than assuming it is settled.
电子发票到底改变了什么
电子发票不是把 PDF 电邮给客户。它是一份提交给 LHDN 的结构化文件,由他们近乎即时验证后,回传唯一识别码与 QR 码。只有经过验证的版本才是有效的税务文件。
这正是最多老板忽略的地方。你可以继续用开票软件,但那个软件必须能对接 MyInvois —— 量少的用入口网站,量大的用 API 串接。
按营业额分阶段
| 年营业额 | 强制日期 |
|---|---|
| RM1亿以上 | 2024年8月1日 |
| RM2,500万 – RM1亿 | 2025年1月1日 |
| RM500万 – RM2,500万 | 2025年7月1日 |
| RM100万 – RM500万 | 2026年1月1日 |
| RM100万以下 | 豁免 |
豁免门槛已经调高
这是最值得知道的变动。豁免门槛原本是 RM500,000,已于 2026年1月1日上调至 RM100万,让一大批微型与小型企业重新退出适用范围。如果你一年前查过、结论是「要做」,现在值得再查一次。
宽限期
每个阶段起算都有六个月宽限期。期间可以开合并式电子发票而不必每笔一张,产品描述可以较笼统,LHDN 也不会依《1967年所得税法令》第 120 条施加罚则。请把它当作把系统弄好的缓冲时间,而不是期限的延长。
就算获豁免,也不是完全没关系
有两种情况仍会影响到你。第一,本身在适用范围内的客户,向你采购时可能需要自开发票(self-bill),会向你索取公司资料。第二,日后某个财政年度营业额超过 RM100万,你就会进入适用范围,所以这件事值得每年重查一次,不要以为一劳永逸。
