Malaysia’s IRB launched Phase 3 of its e-Invoicing rollout on July 1, making e-Invoicing mandatory for over 50,000 businesses with annual sales between RM5 million and RM25 million. The free MyInvois e-POS System, previously limited to micro-SMEs, is now available to businesses with sales under RM750,000 (approx. €150,900) helping SMEs simplify operations through integrated sales, inventory, financial reporting, and e-Invoicing functions. Though e-Invoicing for smaller businesses (Phase 5) only starts in 2026, early adoption is encouraged to ease the transition. The initiative reflects Malaysia's broader effort to modernize tax processes and support business efficiency through digitalization.

As part of this phase, the IRB is significantly expanding the free MyInvois e-POS System, originally limited to SMEs with sales below RM250,000, now available to those with sales under RM750,000. The MyInvois system integrates sales recording, inventory management, financial reporting, and e-Invoicing, helping SMEs simplify operations.
Though mandatory e-Invoicing for Phase 5 taxpayers (sales below RM1 million) starts July 1, 2026, the IRB encourages SMEs to adopt MyInvois early to improve efficiency and ease future compliance.
The Phase 3 rollout marks a major step in Malaysia’s digital tax transformation, targeting mid-sized businesses and expanding MyInvois to support smaller enterprises. Early adoption by SMEs is critical to avoid operational disruptions when mandatory compliance begins. The initiative reflects Malaysia's broader push to modernize tax administration and improve business efficiency through digital tools.
