📢 e-Invoice Is Working: RM1.4 Billion Undeclared Income Detected

Malaysia’s e-Invoice implementation is already producing real results.

According to recent reports, tax audits triggered through the e-Invoice system have uncovered approximately RM1.4 billion in previously undeclared income within the first 18 months of implementation. From this, nearly RM300 million in additional tax has already been collected following voluntary disclosures.

What’s important to note:

✔️ Many cases involved high transaction activity with no corresponding tax filings
✔️ Businesses were identified through data matching, not random audits
✔️ Thousands of taxpayers came forward after receiving reminders from LHDN

🔍 What This Means for Businesses

The key takeaway is simple:
Business transactions are now traceable and cross-checked automatically.

With e-Invoice in place:

  • Sales and income data can be matched against tax filings

  • Discrepancies are flagged through system audits, not random checks

  • Non-reporting or under-reporting is easier for authorities to detect

This affects:
• SMEs
• Online sellers and service providers
• Growing businesses
• Companies entering later e-Invoice phases

⚠️ Compliance Reminder

If your business:

  • Has past income not fully reported

  • Maintains inconsistent records

  • Is unsure whether current practices meet e-Invoice requirements

👉 Voluntary review and early correction is always preferable to enforcement action.
