PUTRAJAYA, May 9 — The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) is encouraging taxpayers, as buyers, to request e-invoices for every expenditure transaction related to individual tax relief starting this year.
LHDN said the approach is a proactive step towards a pilot project involving the pre-filling of tax relief information based on e-invoice transaction data into the Income Tax Return Form for the Year of Assessment 2026.
“To obtain an e-invoice, buyers need to provide their identification number or tax identification number (TIN) to the seller to enable the e-invoice to be issued accurately.
“Among the expenses that may potentially be pre-filled are purchases of personal computers or smartphones, lifestyle-related expenses, insurance, childcare centre fees, and other relief categories as stipulated,” LHDN said in a statement today.
According to LHDN, the use of e-invoices not only facilitates buyers in terms of record management and storage, but also allows transactions and tax relief claims to be reviewed through the MyInvois Portal.
Taxpayers may contact LHDN through its offices, the LHDN e-Invoice help desk at 03-8682 8000, MyInvois Live Chat, or via email at [email protected] for further assistance and advice regarding e-invoices. — Bernama
