IRBM allows the Suppliers to adopt one (or a combination) of the following methods:
(a) Summary of each receipt is presented as separate line items
(b) List of receipts (in a continuous receipt number) is presented as line items

5 The exemption in Section 1 will only be applicable to said persons. Any entities (e.g., companies, limited liability partnership, etc.) owned by the above-mentioned persons would still be required to implement e-Invoice, in accordance with the e-Invoice “implementation timeline”.

6 Notwithstanding the exemption, the above-mentioned persons are welcomed to implement e-Invoice, supporting the Government’s digital initiative.

7. The IRBM acknowledged there are various challenges in issuing e-Invoices for certain types of income or expense.

To ease the adoption of e-Invoice, an e-Invoice (including self-billed e-Invoice) is not required for the following:

  • Employment income.
  • Pension.
  • Alimony.
  • Distribution of dividend in specific circumstances (Refer to Section 11 of e-Invoice Specific Guideline for more details).
  • Zakat.
  • Contract value for the buying or selling of securities or derivatives traded on a stock exchange or derivatives exchange in Malaysia or elsewhere.
  • Disposal of shares of a company incorporated in or outside Malaysia and not listed on the stock exchange, except where the disposer is a company, limited liability partnership, trust body or co-operative society.

8. The exemptions mentioned in Section 1 and 7 will be reviewed and updated from time to time.
