Malaysia Updates MyInvois Rollout and Peppol Standards for 2025–2026
Malaysia continues its strategic push toward comprehensive e-invoicing with several key updates to its MyInvois implementation roadmap and underlying technical framework. From revised go-live dates to enhanced Peppol integration, these changes signal the country’s intent to future-proof its tax compliance infrastructure while offering flexibility to businesses.
Revised Rollout Timeline: New Start for Fourth Wave
On June 5, 2025, Malaysia’s Ministry of Finance announced a six-month delay for the fourth wave of the MyInvois mandate, affecting businesses with annual turnover between RM1 million and RM5 million. Originally expected to begin July 1, 2025, these taxpayers will now enter a soft launch phase starting January 1, 2026.
The full rollout schedule now includes:
- August 1, 2024: > RM100 million
- January 1, 2025: > RM25 million
- July 1, 2025: > RM5 million (with soft launch)
- January 1, 2026: RM1 million–RM5 million (soft launch)
- July 1, 2026: RM500,000–RM1 million
(Below RM500,000 turnover currently exempt)
MyInvois 2.1 Guidelines and API Toolkit Released
In April 2025, the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia released the updated MyInvois 2.1 guidance along with a new software development kit (SDK 1.0).
These resources include:
- Detailed clarification on transaction types
- Revisions to API endpoints and validation rules
- Currency exchange documentation
- Enhanced support for automated systems integration
PINT-MY: Peppol Localization and Authority Confirmation
Malaysia has strengthened its alignment with global interoperability standards by updating the Peppol International Invoice (PINT) specification to its local version, PINT-MY. Coordinated by the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation and OpenPeppol, this localization ensures seamless exchange of e-invoices via the Peppol Network.
Simultaneously, the Ministry of Communications and Digital has been confirmed as Malaysia’s official Peppol Authority, taking charge of onboarding local participants and overseeing regulatory compliance within the network.
Real-Time Reporting, Certification Numbers, and B2C Rules
Operating under a CTC model, the MyInvois system requires all invoices to be pre-cleared via the government’s portal or API. Once approved, they receive a unique Certification Serial Number and a QR code, which must be shared with the buyer.
B2C transactions, while not directly invoiced to the consumer, must be aggregated and reported periodically via consolidated e-invoices—further aligning with Malaysia’s broader digital tax transformation goals.
Early Compliance Incentives and Strategic Outlook
Taxpayers that begin live reporting during soft launch phases are eligible for accelerated capital allowances on IT investments. This is part of a wider government effort to incentivize early adoption, ensure system readiness, and minimize disruption during full enforcement.
As Malaysia deepens its digital tax infrastructure, businesses are urged to align their internal systems, train staff, and partner with compliant technology providers, such as Comarch, to ensure a smooth transition.
