e-Invoice Guideline

e-Invoice Guideline

Further to the announcement of the Government’s implementation of electronic invoicing in 2024, the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) published on its website the e-Invoice Guideline (Version 1.0) (Guideline) on 21 July 2023.

The Guideline comprises the following paragraphs:

  • 1.0   Introduction
  • 2.0   Getting ready for e-Invoice
  • 3.0   Data security and privacy monitoring by IRBM
  • 4.0   Assessing readiness of e-Invoice

The Guideline also lists the data fields (mandatory and optional) required for an e-Invoice and its annexure, as well as Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that taxpayers may have regarding e-Invoice.

The Guideline describes two distinct e-Invoice transmission mechanisms, i.e., a portal hosted by the IRB (MyInvois Portal) and Application Programming Interface (API).

e-Invoice will be implemented in phases, based on the turnover or revenue thresholds of businesses. The e-Invoice implementation timeline is as follows:
