With Malaysia’s LHDN e-invoicing rollout now impacting even micro and small businesses (especially those below RM5 million in turnover by January 2026), many entrepreneurs are asking:
Do I really need e-invoicing software, or should I just use the free MyInvois Portal?
Let’s break it down.
📌 What Is Kinrasoft AI Accounting Software?
Kinrasoft helps automate the creation, validation, and submission of invoices in digital format — in real-time to LHDN.
It integrates with your accounting and ensures you’re always compliant with the latest tax rules.
✅ Pros of Using Kinrasoft

- Auto-send, auto-track, and auto-reconcile invoices
- Seamlessly fetch and update supplier e-Invoices directly from the MyInvois System
- One-Click e-Invoice to Purchase Invoice Conversion — Quickly transform supplier e-Invoices into purchase invoices, reducing manual entry and boosting efficiency
2. Reduces Human Error
- Validates invoices before submission
- Minimizes rejection by LHDN due to format or data issues
3. Improves Cash Flow
- Faster invoice issuance = faster customer payment
4. Keeps Your Business Organized
- Centralized record-keeping

5. Future-Proofs Your Business

🤔 What If I Just Use the LHDN MyInvois Portal?
This manual option is suitable only if:
- You issue very few invoices per month
- You’re comfortable doing manual data entry
- You don’t mind tracking invoices on spreadsheets
🛑 But: It becomes impractical when your business grows, or if you’re issuing invoices daily.
💸 Cost vs. Benefit: Is It Worth It?
| Question | Manual (MyInvois Portal) | E-Invoicing Software |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Free | Varies (RM650/year) |
| Invoice volume support | Low | Medium–High |
| Time savings | ❌ | ✅ |
| Error prevention | ❌ | ✅ |
| Integrate with accounting | ❌ | ✅ |
✅ Verdict: If you issue more than 10–15 invoices per month, or want to reduce admin work, yes—it’s worth it.
