LHDN has officially updated the e-Invoicing rollout timeline, giving businesses more time — but also more room to fall behind if they wait too long.
While some phases are delayed, the smartest businesses are using this soft launch window to prepare early, streamline workflows, and avoid last-minute panic.
📢 Latest e-Invoicing Timeline from LHDN:
- Phase 3 (Revenue above RM5 million):
Mandatory implementation from 1 July 2025 - Phase 4 (Revenue RM1–5 million):
Postponed to 1 January 2026, now a Soft Launch (Voluntary Adoption) - Phase 5 (Revenue RM500,000–1 million):
Extended to 1 July 2026
❗️Delayed Doesn’t Mean You Can Relax
We’re seeing many business owners thinking:
“I’m not in Phase 3, I still have time. I’ll prepare next year.”
But this mindset is risky.
Imagine rushing to implement a new system just months before it becomes mandatory, while also juggling audits, year-end closing, and tax reporting. It’s a recipe for stress — and mistakes.
✅ The soft launch is a golden opportunity to test, adjust, and get your team comfortable with the process before it’s enforced.
✅ Why Start Preparing Now?
- You get time to test your actual workflow
Find and fix any operational gaps before the system becomes mandatory. - Train your accounting & sales teams gradually
No pressure to get it right the first time — soft launch allows for trial-and-error learning. - Organize your data in advance
Clean up customer records, tax codes, product lists, etc., for smoother integration with MyInvois.
