Malaysia’s journey toward nationwide e-invoicing is moving ahead, but not without some thoughtful adjustments. On 5 June 2025, the Ministry of Finance confirmed a delay in the third wave of the MyInvois e-invoicing implementation, specifically affecting small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) with annual sales between RM1 million and RM5 million.

If you fall into this category or support businesses that do, here’s a breakdown of what’s changed, why it matters, and how you can prepare.

What Is MyInvois?

MyInvois is a government-led system created by Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) to handle invoices electronically. Instead of using paper or manual invoices, businesses will need to use digital invoices that are sent and received through an online platform managed by the government.

The main goals of MyInvois are to:

Make tax reporting easier and more accurate (because everything is recorded digitally)
Prevent invoice fraud or fake invoices
Follow international best practices in taxation and digitalisation

Once MyInvois is fully rolled out, every registered business in Malaysia (based on their revenue size) will need to create and manage invoices through this system, instead of doing it the traditional way.

If you're new to e-invoicing, here’s everything you need to know about e-invoicing in Malaysia.

Revised MyInvois Implementation Timeline

Below is the updated schedule for the phased rollout of MyInvois:

Start Date	Who It Affects	Notes
1 August 2024	Businesses with annual turnover above RM100 million	Hard deadline
1 January 2025	Businesses with annual turnover above RM25 million	Hard deadline
1 July 2025	Businesses with turnover above RM5 million	Includes 6-month soft launch
1 January 2026	Businesses with RM1 million–RM5 million turnover	Includes 6-month soft launch
1 July 2026	Businesses with RM500,000–RM1 million turnover	Final phase of rollout
Exempted	Businesses below RM500,000 turnover	Not required to use MyInvois yet

A soft launch gives businesses a trial period. You’re allowed (and encouraged) to start using e-invoices early without being penalised if you make mistakes or need more time to adapt.

What Does This Delay Mean for SMEs?

If your business makes between RM1 million and RM5 million a year, you were originally supposed to start using the MyInvois e-invoicing system in July 2025. But now, the government has delayed it by six months. So instead of starting in July 2025, your soft launch will begin in January 2026.

This means:

You have more time to prepare your invoicing system.
You don’t have to rush to meet the old deadline.

This delay gives you extra time to:

Start going digital if you're still using handwritten or Excel invoices.
Replace outdated systems that don’t support e-invoicing.
Research and choose the right software (like accounting tools or ERP systems) that work with MyInvois.

Basically, the delay gives small and medium businesses a “breathing space” to get ready properly, so when the system becomes mandatory in mid-2026, you won’t face issues or penalties.
