Malaysia e-Invoice Compliance Guide: Why You Need to Update Your Account Details

Malaysia is implementing a nationwide e-Invoice framework led by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN). As part of this implementation, businesses must ensure that certain customer information is complete. They also need to keep it up to date to support accurate and compliant e-Invoice issuance.

To help with this process, customers are asked to review and update their personal details in their MoneyMatch account.

Why You Need to Update Your Details

Updating your details helps ensure that:

  • Your account information is accurate
  • Your e-Invoice can be issued correctly
  • Your records remain compliant with regulatory requirements
  • Your transactions continue smoothly without unnecessary delays

Details You Need to Update

To support e-Invoice compliance, you are asked to confirm or update the following details in your account:

  • Full Name
  • Identification Number (IC/Passport)
  • Country
  • Residential Address
  • Tax Identification Number (TIN)

What is a TIN?

A TIN is a Tax Identification Number. It is a unique number used by tax authorities to identify taxpayers for tax related matters.

For e-Invoice purposes, the TIN helps ensure that invoice information is properly matched and reported in line with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) requirements.

How to Find Your TIN

If you are unsure about your TIN, there are a few ways to check.

  1. Check with your employer: Many employers already have your tax number for payroll or tax reporting purposes.
  2. Check the MyTax portal: If you pay taxes in Malaysia, you are able to find your TIN through the MyTax portal.
  3. Use your home country tax number: If you do not have a Malaysian TIN, you are able to use the tax identification number issued by your home country, depending on your tax residency.

💡 Many expats already have a TIN through their employer or previous tax filings.

What Happens After You Update Your Details

Once you have updated your details in your MoneyMatch account, your information will go through a validation process. After LHDN has successfully validated your TIN information, you will be able to view your e-Invoice receipt. You will also receive an email from MoneyMatch to notify you that your e-Invoice is ready.

The email will include a link to view your receipt. To access it, you will need to enter the last 6 characters of your registered identification number.
