Malaysia is advancing its MyInvois e-invoicing system using a CTC model, requiring real-time invoice clearance and QR codes. The fourth rollout phase for businesses with RM1–5 million turnover (approx. €200,000 – €1,000,000) is delayed to January 2026, with each phase including a 6-month soft launch. Main updates include the PINT 1.2.0 standard with self-billing, new MyInvois 2.1 guidelines, and the appointment of the Ministry of Communications and Digital as Malaysia’s Peppol Authority. For B2C, standard receipts remain allowed, with future consolidated e-invoice requirements pending. MyInvois supports Malaysia’s broader tax digitalization strategy and may pave the way for a future GST reintroduction.
