What’s New in Malaysia’s e-Invoice Specific Guideline Version 4.4
New rules for electricity and telecom e-invoicing in Malaysia from January 2026.
The Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) has released the latest update to its e-Invoice Specific Guideline—Version 4.4. While the overall framework remains largely unchanged, this version introduces a key compliance update that businesses in the utilities and telecommunications sectors must prepare for.
Key Change Effective 1 January 2026
Starting 1 January 2026, consolidated e-Invoices will no longer be permitted for the following:
• Distribution, supply or sale of electricity
• Telecommunication services related to postpaid plans, internet subscriptions, and the sale of electronic devices
This means companies in these sectors must issue individual e-Invoices for each transaction, rather than grouping multiple transactions into a single consolidated document.
Other Refinements
Appendix 5 (FAQs) has been reworded and refined for improved clarity. This enhancement helps businesses across industries—such as healthcare, construction, e-commerce, and financial services—quickly locate sector-specific guidance.
Final Note
Version 4.4 is a targeted update. The key takeaway: utilities and telecom providers should begin reviewing and adjusting their billing processes now to ensure full compliance by 1 January 2026.
For full details, businesses are encouraged to refer to the updated e-Invoice guidelines available on the
LHDN website.
