Malaysia MyInvois E-Invoicing: Software for the 2026 Mandate
LHDN's MyInvois e-invoicing is phased in by turnover, with the RM1m-5m band live from January 2026. Here's how MyInvois works, who's exempt, and which accounting software (AutoCount, Bukku, HashMicro, Deskera) submits to it.
Malaysia's e-invoicing runs through **LHDN's MyInvois** system, rolled out in phases by annual turnover: RM100m+ since Aug 2024, RM25m-100m since Jan 2025, RM5m-25m since Jul 2025, and **RM1m-5m from 1 January 2026**. In December 2025 the Cabinet raised the permanent exemption to **RM1,000,000 turnover** and scrapped the planned RM150k-500k phase, so the smallest businesses are exempt for now. Above the threshold, every invoice must be validated by MyInvois (up to 55 required fields, digitally signed with an LHDN certificate), and from 2026 individual e-invoices are required for transactions over RM10,000. You can submit free through the **MyInvois portal** (fine for low volume) or through accounting software with built-in submission — **AutoCount** is one named example — while larger firms use direct API or Peppol. Confirm your vendor's current MyInvois support before committing.
| Option | Type | How it handles MyInvois | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MyInvois Portal | Government portal (free) | Manual entry or upload; LHDN validates and returns the certified e-invoice | Low-volume businesses just over the RM1m threshold |
| AutoCount | Accounting software (MY) | Built-in MyInvois submission from within the accounting system | Malaysian SMEs already running AutoCount |
| Bukku | Cloud accounting (MY) | Malaysian cloud accounting; confirm current MyInvois integration | Small Malaysian businesses wanting cloud books |
| HashMicro | ERP | ERP with e-invoicing; suited to API / higher volume | Larger firms needing ERP-grade integration |
| Deskera | Business suite | All-in-one books and inventory; verify MyInvois submission | SMEs wanting one suite across functions |
| Direct API / Peppol | Integration route | Connect a custom ERP straight to MyInvois | High-volume or bespoke ERP setups |
SEA Operational Reasoning
The turnover phasing is the part that trips businesses up, because the goalposts moved late in 2025. As of 2026 the mandate reaches the RM1m-5m band, but the December 2025 decision to set a permanent RM1,000,000 exemption (and cancel the planned RM150k-500k phase) means the smallest businesses are out of scope for now — so the first question is simply whether your turnover crosses RM1m. If it does, the second decision is portal vs software. The MyInvois portal is free and workable for low volume, but it is manual; accounting software with built-in submission removes the re-keying and handles the 55-field, digitally-signed format for you, and API/Peppol suits high volume or custom ERP. Among tools in our directory, AutoCount is the clearest fit because it is a Malaysian accounting product with native MyInvois submission; Bukku, HashMicro and Deskera cover cloud-accounting, ERP and business-suite needs respectively, but you should confirm each one's current MyInvois status on the vendor site, since integrations are still maturing across the Phase 4 rollout.

The questions operators actually ask.
Who has to use MyInvois in 2026?
The mandate is phased by annual turnover. Bands above RM5m have been live since 2024-2025, and the RM1m-5m band came into scope on 1 January 2026. In December 2025 the Cabinet set a permanent exemption at RM1,000,000 turnover and cancelled the planned smaller phase, so businesses below RM1m turnover are currently exempt.

Do I need to buy software, or can I use the free MyInvois portal?
The MyInvois portal is free and suitable for low-volume businesses, but entry is manual. Accounting software with built-in MyInvois submission (AutoCount is one named example) or direct API / Peppol integration is aimed at higher volumes, removing manual re-keying. Which you need depends on invoice volume, not just turnover.
What makes a MyInvois e-invoice valid?
It must be submitted to MyInvois in real time, contain up to 55 required data fields, and be digitally signed with an LHDN-issued certificate; MyInvois then validates it and returns the certified invoice. From 2026, transactions above RM10,000 require individual e-invoices rather than consolidated ones.
