Latest Malaysia e-Invoice Update (2025): Threshold Increased to RM1,000,000

Latest Malaysia e-Invoice Update (2025): Threshold Increased to RM1,000,000 – What Businesses Need to Know

1. Latest Announcement: e-Invoice Threshold Increased

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) has recently announced an important update to the mandatory e-Invoice implementation.

📌 Updated Threshold

  • Annual sales below RM1,000,000
    👉 Temporarily exempted from mandatory e-Invoice implementation

  • Annual sales of RM1,000,000 and above
    👉 Required to implement e-Invoice in accordance with LHDN’s rollout timeline

This updated threshold is expected to take effect from 2026, providing relief for many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

2. Updated e-Invoice Implementation Timeline

For businesses with annual turnover ≥ RM1,000,000, the implementation dates are as follows:

Annual Turnover ≥ RM1m in YA

e-Invoice Implementation Date

YA 2022

1 January 2026

YA 2023, YA 2024 & YA 2025

1 July 2026

YA 2026 onwards

1 January of the second following year


📌 Example:

If a company exceeds RM1,000,000 turnover on 31 December 2026,

👉 e-Invoice implementation starts on 1 January 2028.


⚠ Important Note on Related Companies


If a company’s turnover is below RM1,000,000, but its related company:

  • has already implemented e-Invoice, or

  • is required to implement e-Invoice on 1 January 2026 or 1 July 2026,

👉 the company will also be required to adopt e-Invoice from 1 July 2026, despite being below the threshold.


3. MyInvois e-POS Eligibility Expanded

Good news for small retailers and F&B businesses:

  • MyInvois e-POS eligibility has increased

  • From RM1,000,000 → RM2,000,000 annual turnover

This makes compliance easier for smaller businesses with simpler transaction needs.

4. Does Being Below RM1,000,000 Mean You Can Ignore e-Invoice?

Not recommended.

Even if your business is currently exempt, there are several practical considerations:

1️⃣ Your customers may already require e-Invoice

Large companies or corporate clients may require suppliers to issue e-Invoices for compliance and audit purposes.

2️⃣ Business growth will trigger future compliance

Once your annual revenue exceeds RM1,000,000, e-Invoice implementation will become mandatory. Preparing late may disrupt operations.

3️⃣ Policies may continue to evolve

Tax digitalisation is a long-term national direction. Thresholds and timelines may be revised again.

5. Which Businesses Should Start Preparing Early?

We strongly recommend early preparation if your business:

  • Expects revenue growth in the next 1–2 years

  • Is applying for bank financing or investor funding

  • Works with large corporations or multinational companies

  • Wants better financial transparency and professional reporting

  • Is upgrading its accounting or ERP systems

Early preparation does not mean immediate full implementation it means planning wisely.

6. 4 Practical Steps to Prepare for e-Invoice

Step 1: Review your revenue trend
Assess whether your business is approaching the RM1,000,000 threshold.

Step 2: Review your invoicing and accounting process
Identify reliance on manual, Excel-based, or fragmented systems.

Step 3: Understand basic e-Invoice requirements
Learn about required invoice fields, formats, and system integration.

Step 4: Seek professional advice
Choose a solution that balances compliance, cost, and operational efficiency.

7. Conclusion: Higher Threshold Means Opportunity, Not Inaction

The increase in the e-Invoice threshold is not a reason to delay preparation — it is an opportunity to plan properly.

Early preparation leads to:
✔ Lower implementation costs
✔ Reduced compliance risks
✔ Smoother business operations

🇲🇾 2025 年终冲刺:公司必须知道的印花税截止日期与扣税新规⚠️

图画版本

随着年尾临近,许多公司正赶着签订供应合约、服务合约与员工合约。
企业每年最常犯的错误之一,就是忘记及时处理印花税,最终导致不必要的罚款与麻烦。

为了帮助企业避免踩雷,这里整理出3 个必须掌握的印花税重点,HR / Admin 一定要收藏。

  1.  所有 2025 年签署的合约 — 必须在 12 月 31 日前完成盖章

无论是服务合约、租赁合约、供应商合约或合作协议,只要签署日期落在 2025 年内,就必须在年尾前完成印花税。


盖章时间

后果

12 月 31 日前盖章

✔ 无罚款,合规安全

1 月后才盖章

✖ 迟盖罚款 — 无法避免


不要拖到明年才发现来不及!现在处理最安全。


  2. 自 2026 年起 — 新员工合约须在签署后 30 天内完成印花税

这个新规则容易让 HR / Admin 混淆。

⚠️ 不是月底前

⚠️ 不是随时有空才处理

最新规定非常明确:

合约签署日起计算: 30 天内必须完成盖章

否则将被视为迟盖,自动触发罚款。


3. 2026 年豁免门槛调高 — 从 RM300 ➜ RM3,000

对中小企业来说是大利好!

从 2026 年起,印花税豁免门槛将大幅提升。


合约金额

是否需要印花税

RM3,000 以下

✖ 豁免印花税

RM3,000 或以上

✔ 需要缴付印花税


这项调整将为 HR 与 Admin 带来明显的成本节省,尤其是处理小额外包或短期员工合约时。



HR & Admin 必看重点总结


项目

生效时间

要求

2025 年签署的合约

截止 2025 年 12 月 31 日

新员工合约盖章时限

印花税豁免门槛

2026 年起

从 RM300 提升至 RM3,000


做好印花税合规,不仅能降低企业风险,也能避免不必要的罚款与现金流压力。


Avoid Late Stamp-Duty Penalties — What You Must Do Before Year End

🇲🇾 Malaysia Companies: Avoid Late Stamp-Duty Penalties — What You Must Do Before Year End ⚠️

中文版本

图画版本

As the year comes to an end, many businesses are rushing to finalize contracts and employee agreements. One of the most common mistakes companies repeat every year is forgetting to settle stamp duty on time, which often results in unnecessary penalties.

To help you avoid last-minute stress and extra costs, here are the 3 most important stamp duty rules you must follow.

  1. Contracts Signed in 2025 Must Be Stamped Before 31 December

If your business has signed any agreements this year — including service contracts, tenancy agreements, or supplier contracts — they must be stamped before the end of the year.


Stamping Timeline

Outcome

Stamped before 31 December

✔ No penalty – fully compliant

Stamped after 31 December

✖ Late stamping – penalty will apply


Avoid delaying until next year, as the penalty is automatic and unavoidable.


  2. New Employee Contracts from 2026 Must Be Stamped Within 30 Days of Signing 

If your business has signed any agreements this year — including service contracts, tenancy agreements, or supplier contracts — they must be stamped before the end of the year.

This new requirement often confuses HR and Admin teams.

It is not based on month end, and not “anytime within the year”.
The rule is precise:

Stamping must be completed within 30 days from the signing date of the employment contract.

Failing to do so will trigger late stamping penalties.


3. New Stamp Duty Exemption Threshold from 2026 — RM300 ➜ RM3,000

Good news for SMEs:

Beginning 2026, the exemption limit will be increased significantly.


Value of Contract

Stamp Duty Requirement

Below RM3,000

✖ Exempted from stamp duty

RM3,000 and above

✔ Stamp duty applicable


This adjustment allows HR and Admin departments to save more when handling small-value agreements, especially for temporary staff, part-timers, or low-value supplier contracts.



Summary for HR & Admin


Rule

Effective Period

Requirement

Stamping deadline for 2025 contracts

Before 31 December 2025

Must be stamped this year

Stamping for new employee contracts

From 2026 onwards

Must be stamped within 30 days of signing

Stamp duty exemption threshold

From 2026 onwards

Increased from RM300 to RM3,000


Keeping track of stamp duty compliance not only protects the company legally but also prevents unnecessary penalties and cash outflow.
