Streamline Your Malaysian Business For E-Invoicing With SQL Account 

The Malaysian Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) is making e-invoice mandatory for tax purposes. SQL Account is certified to comply with these regulations, making it a seamless solution for your business. E-invoicing is being rolled out in stages, with the first group of businesses needing to be compliant by August 1, 2024. By July 1, 2025, all businesses in Malaysia, regardless of size, will be required to use e-invoices. Make the switch to SQL Account and ensure your business stays compliant with LHDN regulations.

No more asking customers for their TINS one by one

SQL Account is the only accounting software that automatically fetches your customers TIN (Tax Identification number), saving your countless hours of manual effort.

Where The Journey Started

E-Invoice Timeline

Exciting news for SQL users! In the E-Invoice era, SQL will build a feature similar to the current SSM power search function owned by SQL, allowing you to easily access the full SSM complete list for tax computation verification.

We’re taking this concept a step further by developing a comprehensive TIN portal. This portal will provide SQL users with a seamless experience for validating TIN numbers, enabling you to verify the accuracy of tax identification numbers with 100% accuracy through the LHDN server.

SQL’s Tax Identification Number Portal

With the implementation of E-Invoices, a valid TIN is mandate. Without it, E-Invoice submissions may be rejected or face validation delays. Instead of manually emailing each customer and supplier to request their TIN, SQL has created a TIN Validation Portal where companies only need to submit their TIN once at SQL TIN Portal. SQL will validate your TIN submission with the LHDN Portal. All your suppliers using SQL will no longer need to ask for your TIN. With over 270,000 companies in the SQL user base, there’s a high probability that 70% of your suppliers are SQL users. If you haven’t updated your company’s TIN yet, you can do so here.

SQL E-Invoice Upgrade V1

Companies gearing up for e-invoicing starting on 2024/08/01 should ensure their customer master data includes TIN information. To streamline the process of collecting the required TINs, SQL users can rely on our intelligent outgoing email feature. This feature automatically filters and sends TIN requests only to customers not yet in the SQL Portal, preventing duplicate or excessive requests to the same customers.

SQL E-Invoice Upgrade V2 (Version 850) SQL AutoTIN Sync :

With this version eliminates the need for manual, time-consuming processes associated with customer Tax Identification Number (TIN) management. A single click facilitates the automatic update of all available and validated TINs within your customer master records. This functionality leverages the LHDN API to ensure 100% accuracy, thereby mitigating the risk of encountering invalid TINs during e-invoice issuance. The entire e-invoicing process is streamlined, promoting greater efficiency and reducing the potential for delays.

MyInvois Validation Updates

LHDN has disabled the validation of Business Registration Numbers (BRN) until further notice. As a result, e-invoice submissions will now only validate Tax Identification Numbers (TIN). This change aim to resolve the challenges and difficulties faced by partnerships and enterprises due to various validation issues.

1. need to use personal TIN + new BRN
2. need to use personal TIN + old BRN (and old BRN has various format)
3. need to use personal TIN + NRIC

How SQL Accounting Assists Your Business In Adhering To LHDN E-Invoice Requirements?

According to the guidelines as of February 9, 2024, each e-invoice must contain 35 mandatory fields and 20 optional fields, making a total of 55 fields that need to be completed for successful valid e-invoice submission. SQL Account automates this process by storing all these field records, eliminating the need for repetitive manual entry.

For every e-invoice issued, you can track its status within SQL Account, including whether it has been submitted, validated, deemed invalid, or cancelled. This enables you to effortlessly monitor the status of all e-invoices through SQL Account.

Beyond standard sales invoices, certain transactions require e-invoice, including dividends, foreign income, foreign purchases, payments to agents, and cross-border dealings. SQL Account is equipped to support and comply with these requirements in accordance with LHDN guidelines, covering:

When Do You Need To Start Implementing E-Invoicing For Your Business?

E-Invoice will be implemented in phases to ensure smooth transition. The annual turnover or revenue for the implementation of E-Invoice will be determined based on the following:

  1. Taxpayers with audited financial statements: Based on annual turnover or revenue stated in the statement of comprehensive income in the audited financial statements for financial year 2022.
  2. Taxpayers without audited financial statements: Based on annual revenue reported in the tax return for year of assessment 2022.
  3. In the event of a change of accounting year end for financial year 2022, the taxpayer’s turnover or revenue will be pro-rated to a 12-month period for purposes of determining the e-Invoice implementation date

E-Invoice Implementation Timeline:

Taxpayers with an annual turnover or revenue of more than RM25 million and up to RM100 million1 January 2025

How To Get Started With E-Invoice In Your Business?

LHDN offers businesses two methods for e-invoice compliance:

By logging in via the MyTax Portal, they can utilize the MyInvois Portal to fulfill their e-invoice obligations in accordance with the rules and requirements. Taxpayers can manually fill up all the mandatory fields, submit, view, cancel, or reject invoices, among other actions

2. SQL Accounting Software – Recognized as a leading accounting and business solution in Malaysia, trusted by over 270,000 businesses.

Do I Need A Digital Cert?

digital certificate is a secure electronic document used to verify the identity of a person, device, or server online. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that data transmitted over the internet is encrypted and secure, protecting it from unauthorized access and tampering.

master certificate, on the other hand, is a primary digital certificate used by an organization to manage and secure communications across its entire system. It serves as a central point of trust, simplifying the management of multiple digital certificates within the organization. By using a master certificate, the SQL Accounting Software System ensures that all its communications are secure, thereby eliminating the need for existing SQL users to purchase separate digital certificates.

However, if you have specific needs or additional security requirements that necessitate the use of a personal digital certificate, you can acquire one from here. Digital certificates can be purchased from trusted certificate authorities (CAs), and it’s important to choose a reputable provider to ensure the highest level of security. Some of the well-known companies from which you can purchase digital certificates include:

– Pos Digicert Sdn Bhd
– MSC Trustgate.Com Sdn Bhd
– TS Technolody Services Sdn Bhd
– Raffcomm Technologies Sdn Bhd

Acquiring a digital certificate from one of these companies will provide you with the assurance that your online interactions and data transfers are securely protected.
