[1 min read]Malaysia IRBM e-Invoice New Update – Mandatory Change from 1 Sept 2025

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM / LHDN) has announced an important update to the e-Invoice requirements:

Effective 1 September 2025, if your e-Invoice is issued in a currency other than MYR (Malaysian Ringgit), the Currency Exchange Rate element must be included in the e-Invoice payload.

This means that whenever you invoice in USD, EUR, SGD, or any other non-MYR currency, your e-Invoice submission to LHDN’s MyInvois system must carry:

  • The currency code (e.g., USD, EUR)
  • The exchange rate used to convert to MYR, as per your transaction date

Example of Change

Before (Non-MYR invoice without exchange rate) ❌

jsonCopyEdit{
  "InvoiceCurrencyCode": "USD",
  "InvoiceTotal": 1500.00
}

After (Non-MYR invoice with exchange rate) ✅

jsonCopyEdit{
  "InvoiceCurrencyCode": "USD",
  "CurrencyExchangeRate": 4.6500,
  "InvoiceTotal": 1500.00
}

(Exchange rate example only; actual rate to be based on your transaction date.)

Why This Matters:

  • LHDN will reject e-Invoices that don’t meet this requirement.
  • Continuous non-compliance may result in penalties under IRBM’s rules and regulations.

For Our Customers:
No action needed — our e-Invoice solution has fully supported this requirement since 1 August 2024. You are already compliant.

For Non-Customers:
Please check with your IT vendor immediately to ensure your current e-Invoice solution can:

  1. Capture currency codes for non-MYR transactions
  2. Automatically include the exchange rate in the e-Invoice payload sent to LHDN

Failure to comply could mean rejected invoices, delayed payments, and possible penalties.

Stay compliant, avoid disruptions.
