Your Invoices Might Be Rejected? 3 e-Invoice Traps to Avoid!
Since Malaysia rolled out e-Invoice, many business owners and finance teams think “as long as I have an invoice, I’m safe.” ⚠️ Not true! Step into these traps and your expenses might not be accepted, leaving your taxes at risk:
1️⃣ Not Verifying Supplier Invoices：
📌 If your supplier is already on e-Invoice, their invoices must carry a QR code + validation code.
Without these marks = high risk, and LHDN may not accept them for tax purposes.
2️⃣ Overlooking the Legality of Regular Invoices：
📌 If your supplier hasn’t reached the LHDN threshold yet, a regular invoice is still legal.
The key is keeping full records and evidence to back up your claims during tax filing.
3️⃣ Not Using “Self-Billed e-Invoice” When Required：
📌 You must issue your own e-Invoice in cases like:
Buying from foreign suppliers
Paying individuals or agents commissions
Platform/intermediary didn’t issue an e-Invoice
Failing to self-bill = expense not recognized, profit affected directly!
💡 Quick Takeaway：
Don’t just wait for suppliers to send invoices be proactive and stay compliant:
✅ Verify invoice authenticity
✅ Store legal records
✅ Master self-billed e-Invoices
These 3 tips help you avoid trouble and save tax headaches!
