Important: MyInvois e-invoicing
Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board (LHDN/HASiL) has phased in mandatory e-invoicing through MyInvois. Businesses in scope must submit each invoice to LHDN for validation, and a validated e-invoice carries a unique ID and QR code.
A PDF made here is not a MyInvois e-invoice. Smaller businesses under LHDN’s exemption threshold, which the government raised during 2026, don’t need to issue e-invoices. Check the current threshold on LHDN’s website. This template is useful for:
- businesses below the e-invoicing threshold
- quotations and proforma invoices before a sale
- a readable cover document to send alongside a validated e-invoice
Sales tax and service tax (SST)
Malaysia has no GST or VAT. Instead, Royal Malaysian Customs (JKDM) runs SST, which is two separate taxes:
| Tax | Applies to | Common rates |
|---|---|---|
| Service tax | Listed taxable services | 8% for most services; 6% for some, such as food and beverage |
| Sales tax | Taxable goods made in or imported into Malaysia | 5% or 10%, depending on the goods |
Only SST-registered businesses charge SST. Because the rate depends on what you sell, the preset starts with tax off; use “Per item” if lines have different rates. Check MySST for the current lists.
