FAQs #20 and #21 from the LHDNM e-Invoice General FAQs

Share the Post:

Based on FAQs #20 and #21 from the LHDNM e-Invoice General FAQs document, let me explain.

FAQ #20: Are individual buyers required to provide their details to suppliers for e-invoice issuance?
Yes, when buyers request an e-invoice, they need to share their details with the supplier to facilitate e-invoice issuance.

Which TIN should individual taxpayers use for e-invoice purposes?

For individual taxpayers:
1. Can use their TIN with the prefix “IG”
2. Alternatively, you can use general TIN “EI00000000010”
3. Must provide MyKad/MyTentera number regardless of which TIN option is chosen

FAQ #21: How to issue e-invoice to foreign buyers without TIN?

  • Suppliers must obtain buyer’s details from foreign buyers
  • For foreign buyers without TIN, use “EI00000000020” as the TIN in the e-invoice
  • Other details of the foreign buyer must still be provided


Let me illustrate with some examples:

Example 1 – Business Purchase:
Sarah visits an electronics store to buy a laptop for her online business:
✅ She requests for an e-invoice
✅ She needs to provide her company details to the store:
📍 Name
📍 TIN (Company)
📍 Business Registration Number
📍 Address
📍 Contact number
📍 SST registration number (if applicable)
📍 Email address (but, optional)

Example 2 – Individual Using Personal TIN:
John buys office furniture and requests for an e-invoice:

✅ Provides his personal TIN (starts with “IG”)
✅ Provides MyKad number
✅ Provides other required details (address, contact number, etc.)

The supplier can then issue an e-invoice using John’s personal TIN.

Example 3 – Individual Using General TIN:
Linda purchases computer equipment and requests for an e-invoice:
✅ Chooses to use general TIN “EI00000000010” instead of her personal TIN
✅ Must still provide her MyKad number
✅ Provides other required details (address, contact number, etc.)

The supplier will issue the e-invoice using the general TIN “EI00000000010” along with Linda’s MyKad number.

Example 4 – Malaysian Company Selling to Foreign Individual:

ABC Sdn Bhd sells software to John Smith from the UK:

  • ABC needs to issue an e-invoice with:
    📍Buyer’s Name: John Smith
    📍TIN: “EI00000000020” (since John has no Malaysian TIN)
    📍Identification: John’s passport number
    📍Address: John’s UK address
    📍Contact details: John’s contact information

Example 5 – Malaysian Company Selling to Foreign Company

XYZ Manufacturing Sdn Bhd exports goods to Singapore Company Pte Ltd:

  • XYZ issues e-invoice with:
    📍Buyer’s Name: Singapore Company Pte Ltd
    📍TIN: “EI00000000020” (for foreign company without Malaysian TIN)
    📍Registration Number: Singapore Company’s business registration number
    📍Address: Singapore business address
    📍Contact details: Singapore Company’s contact information


Key Points:
1. Always provide required details when requesting e-invoice

2. Malaysian individuals have flexibility in TIN usage:
– Can use personal TIN (IG prefix)
– Can use general TIN (EI00000000010)

3. Use “EI00000000020” as TIN for foreign buyers without Malaysian TIN

4. Individual MyKad/MyTentera/Passport number is mandatory regardless of TIN choice

5. Other details (address, contact number, etc.) must still be provided

根据LHDNM电子发票一般常见问题解答文件中的常见问题解答20和21,我来解释一下。

常见问题解答20:个人买家是否需要向供应商提供详细信息才能开具电子发票?
是的,当买家要求开具电子发票时,他们需要与供应商分享详细信息,以便于电子发票的开具。

个人纳税人应使用哪个TIN开具电子发票?
对于个人纳税人:
1. 可以使用前缀为“IG”的TIN
2. 或者,您可以使用通用TIN“EI00000000010”
3. 无论选择哪种TIN,都必须提供MyKad/MyTentera号码


常见问题解答 #21:如何向没有税务识别号码(TIN)的外国买家开具电子发票?

  • 供应商必须从外国买家处获取买家详细信息
  • 对于没有税务识别号码(TIN)的外国买家,在电子发票中填写“EI00000000020”作为税务识别号码
  • 仍必须提供外国买家的其他详细信息


下面举几个例子说明
