How to Submit an e-Invoice in Malaysia

Whether you're using the free MyInvois Portal or software like TxBilling, the underlying process is the same five steps.

Step-by-step

1. Gather transaction details — buyer TIN, item/service description, amount, applicable tax.
2. Enter or generate the invoice — manually in the MyInvois Portal, or automatically from your billing software when you issue a normal invoice.
3. Submit for validation — the invoice is sent to LHDN's MyInvois system.
4. Receive the validated e-Invoice — LHDN returns a unique identifier and QR code, usually within seconds.
5. Share with the buyer — send the validated e-Invoice (with QR code) as proof of the compliant transaction.

Manual (Portal) vs automatic (software)

	MyInvois Portal	TxBilling
Data entry	Manual, per invoice	Automatic from your billing document
Speed	Minutes per invoice	Seconds, in the background
Error risk	Higher — manual re-entry	Lower — data reused from your records

FAQ

How long does validation take?

LHDN typically validates e-Invoices in near real-time, usually within seconds.

What if I make a mistake after submission?

Validated e-Invoices generally can't be edited directly — you'll need to cancel (within the applicable window) or issue a credit/debit note, depending on the situation.
