OBJECTIVE

As Malaysia transitions into continuous transaction control (CTC) via the MyInvois platform, tax visibility has shifted from post-event tax returns to real-time, transaction-level data matching. The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN / IRBM) issued the E-Invoice Compliance Review Framework (Rangka Kerja Semakan Pematuhan e-Invois) and launched the E-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP).

 

The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM / HASiL) launched the E-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP) on 7 July 2026, giving businesses an 18-month window to correct past e-Invoice errors or omissions. With the automated nature of e-Invoicing, discrepancies between submitted e-Invoices and accounting records can trigger compliance reviews and enforcement actions.

 

This 1-day executive masterclass bridges technical implementation with regulatory compliance, equipping finance leaders to rectify historical non-compliance without penalty exposure and build audit-proof internal controls.

AFTER ATTENDING THIS COURSE YOU WILL RETURN TO YOUR JOB…

  2. Mastering the complete SVDP guidelines, timelines, and eligibility criteria.
  3. Executing practical steps to correct missing or inaccurate E-Invoices using dedicated SVDP Version 1.2 and 1.3 schemas.
  4. Managing LHDN audit compliance reviews, including handling 14-day advance notices and the strict 18-day objection window.
  5. Deploying robust business readiness plans and post-implementation audit controls.

MODULE 1: LEGAL FRAMEWORK & AUDIT SCOPE: STATUTORY OFFENCE & PENALTY FRAMEWORK

Failure to issue proper e-invoices, self-billed e-invoices, or consolidated e-invoices carries severe consequences, including fines ranging from RM200 to RM20,000 per offence under Section 120 of the Income Tax Act 1967.

Audit Scope (Rangka Kerja Semakan Pematuhan E-Invois)

LHDN conducts comprehensive reviews covering up to two Years of Assessment (YAs). The scope involves direct verification of business transaction records, including sales and purchase e-invoices, credit/debit notes, refund notes, consolidated summaries, bank statements, and general ledgers.

MODULE 2: COMPLETE GUIDE TO E-INVOICE SVDP MALAYSIA: FEATURES & TIMELINES

LHDN’s SVDP allows taxpayers to voluntarily regularise missing, incomplete, or inaccurate e-invoices from their mandatory implementation date. The programme officially runs from 7 July 2026 until 31 December 2027.

Who is Eligible? Taxpayers qualify if they:

  • Failed to submit e-invoices from their mandatory implementation date.
  • Submitted e-invoices containing errors or non-compliant information.
  • Omitted e-invoices for specific reporting periods or transactions.
  • Are undergoing or have been notified of an upcoming LHDN compliance review (provided disclosures are made in good faith before final findings).

Key Benefits of Joining SVDP

  • Proper, good-faith disclosure under SVDP protects businesses from LHDN compliance review actions, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution regarding the disclosed transactions.
  • Compliant businesses may qualify for accelerated capital allowance (ACA), allowing ICT equipment and software costs for e-invoicing to be claimed within one year.

MODULE 3: CORRECTING E-INVOICES & BUSINESS ACTIONS: TECHNICAL SUBMISSION STANDARDS

Standard APIs and normal e-invoice document versions cannot be used for SVDP corrections. Businesses must utilize two dedicated MyInvois SDK document versions introduced exclusively for this program:

  • SVDP 1.2: Document version for submissions without a digital signature requirement.
  • SVDP 1.3: Document version requiring a digital signature on submission.

Practical Rectification

  • Consolidated Invoices: Must be broken down and submitted by their original transaction month, not combined into a lump-sum current month submission.
  • Self-Billed & B2B Gaps: Re-issue using SVDP 1.2 or 1.3 with historical transaction dates accurately attributed.

What Businesses Should Do

  • Conduct an internal e-invoice data health check, reconcile accounting ledgers against MyInvois data, prepare structured correction schedules, and update ERP systems to support the new SVDP document versions before the 2027 deadline.

MODULE 4: LHDN AUDIT PROCESS, REVIEW PROCEDURES & READINESS:

SELECTION CRITERIA

LHDN audit selection is risk-based, not random. It relies on computerized system analysis cross-checking e-invoice data submitted through MyInvois against taxpayers’ income tax returns, identifying abnormal variances and targeting high-risk industries.

The LHDN Audit Process

  1. 14-Day Advance Notice: LHDN issues a formal notification letter at least 14 calendar days prior to a comprehensive on-site review.
  2. On-Site Verification: Lasting 1 to 3 days, officers inspect ERP systems, accounting software, and reconcile general ledgers against e-invoice submissions. 3. Compliance Findings Letter: LHDN classifies the taxpayer as
  3. Compliant, Non- Compliant, or Exempt.
  4. 18-Day Statutory Appeal Window: Taxpayers dissatisfied with the compliance findings have a strict 18 calendar days from the date of the findings letter to file a formal written objection to the relevant LHDN Legal Branch.

MODULE 5: NON-COMPLIANCE EXPOSURE & PENALTY RISK

  • Categorizing Breaches: Differentiating between administrative errors (e.g., late issuance) and evasion (e.g., issuing fraudulent e-invoices).
  • The Penalty Matrix: Deep dive into specific fines ranging from RM200 to RM20,000, and the conditions under which directors can be held personally liable.
  • Mitigation Tactics: How to handle accidental omissions and the proper channels for submitting voluntary disclosures to minimize penalty rates.
3:45

MODULE 6: RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES & AUDIT READINESS

  • Taxpayer Protections: Understanding what documentation LHDN can demand and the legal timeframe for responding to queries.
  • Internal Governance: Building a robust internal audit framework, including role segregation for invoice approval, rejection, and cancellation.
  • Future-Proofing: Establishing a 7-year digital archiving strategy that aligns with LHDN requirements in the event of retrospective audits.
