ABOUT E-INVOICE

An e-Invoice is a digital representation of a transaction between a supplier and a buyer. e-Invoice replaces paper or electronic documents such as invoices, credit notes, and debit notes.

An e-Invoice contains the same essential information as traditional document, for example, supplier’s and buyer’s details, item description, quantity, price excluding tax, tax, and total amount, which records transaction data for daily business operations.

What That Really Means for You as Our Customer...

e-Invoice isn’t just another government buzzword. It's a mandatory requirement by LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) for sectors like ours—hardware, building materials, and construction—to issue government-validated digital invoices for every sale.

This means:

Every transaction at our store must go through MyInvois, LHDN’s official platform
We are legally required to collect your TIN (Tax Identification Number), IC, or passport number in order to generate an e-Invoice
This requirement applies to both individuals and businesses
After validation, we will send your official e-Invoice to your email or WhatsApp

⚠️ This is not optional. All businesses in our sector are obligated by law to follow this process.
Without this information, we may not be able to process your invoice, which could affect tax claims, warranty documentation, or future references.
