General Information on LHDN e-Invoice
-
An e-Invoice is a digital representation of a transaction between a seller and a buyer. e-Invoice is intended to replace paper or electronic documents of invoices, credit notes, debit notes and refund notes and contains the same essential transactional data. For more information, refer to LHDN e-Invoice microsite at e-Invoice | Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri Malaysia.
-
The e-Invoice must be validated by LHDN & proof of validation can be made through a QR code which can be inserted on the PDF e-Invoice shared with customers.
-
No. There is no change to our bills and billing process. You will continue receiving and paying for the bills as usual. e-Invoice is the supporting document required by LHDN for your tax deduction.
-
Malaysia is implementing mandatory e-Invoice in stages for all businesses, according to their annual turnover threshold as per below timeline:
Targeted Taxpayers Implementation Date Taxpayers with an annual turnover or revenue of more than RM100 million. 1 August 2024 Taxpayers with an annual turnover or revenue of more than RM25 million and up to RM100 million. 1 January 2025 All taxpayers 1 July 2025
Maxis' compliance to e-Invoice
-
Maxis falls under Phase 1 implementation effective 1 August 2024 and will comply with e-Invoice requirements through submission of consolidated e-Invoice to LHDN.
However, Maxis together with other key Telco players have obtained approval from LHDN for the sharing of PDF e-Invoice validated by LHDN with our customers to be implemented no later than 1 July 2025.
-
Yes, you will still be able to use the current bills from Maxis for tax deductions. As the e-Invoice implementation is currently in phases, the requirement to have e-Invoice as supporting document for tax deduction has not been made mandatory until 1 July 2025, which requires the tax law be amended. This matter has also been clarified by LHDN in its General FAQ (Q4).
-
Maxis is committed with its obligation to share a PDF e-Invoice duly validated by LHDN with its customers. We are currently upgrading our systems to facilitate the issuance of e-Invoice to our customers, which is expected to be fully operational by 1 July 2025. In the meantime, we are collecting the mandatory customer information from you to enable us to issue e-Invoice in due time.
e-Invoice additional customer information
-
To issue an e-Invoice to Enterprise customers, below additional information is required to be submitted to Maxis:
- TIN (Tax Identification Number)
- New 12 digit BRN (Business Registration Number). Businesses in Sabah and Sarawak can use the BRN provided by local authority
- Sales and Service Tax (SST) number (Applicable if business is registered with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department - RMCD)
All above information is mandatory for Maxis to issue an e-Invoice for your supporting document for tax deduction.

In line with LHDNM TIN implementation, effective 1 January 2023, the income tax number registered with LHDNM has been updated with the latest format.
Below is the information obtained from LHDNM FAQ on SDK microsite Frequently Asked Questions (hasil.gov.my)
- If your TIN begins with a zero ’0’ after the prefix, please remove any initial zeros after the prefix for successful validation.
For example, if the TIN is ‘C01234567890’, please input it as ‘C1234567890’.
- If your TIN does not end with a zero ‘0’ (e.g., C123456789), please ensure you add an additional zero ’0’ at the end (e.g., C1234567890). Please note that Non-Individual TIN always ends with zero ‘0’.

-
Yes you can. However, if the submission is too close to the mandatory of implementation of 1 July 2025, Maxis does not guarantee but will endeavour its best effort to issue the e-Invoice in a timely manner.
-
You will not receive e-Invoice prior to the submission of mandatory customer information. e-Invoice will only be made available in your next billing cycle.
