e-Invoice Guideline Updates
On January 28, 2025, Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board (IRBM) revised self-billing rules and exemptions. The updates introduced exemptions for international organizations from issuing e-invoices, allowed self-billing consolidation for certain insurance claims and transactions involving overseas branches, and mandated self-billed e-invoices for capital-related transactions such as capital reduction, share redemption, buybacks, return of capital, or liquidation proceeds.
These updates will improve Malaysia’s e-invoicing framework, facilitating smoother transactions for businesses by optimising operational efficiency and compliance.
