As Malaysia moves toward mandatory e-invoicing, businesses must ensure their submissions to LHDN (Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri) are accurate, timely, and fully compliant. Whether you’re a startup or an SME, overlooking the finer details can lead to delays, rejections, or even penalties.
To help you stay ahead, here are the top mistakes to avoid when submitting e-invoices — and how Kinrasoft makes compliance simple.
1. Submitting Invoices Without a Valid LHDN Client ID
Before you can even send an e-invoice, you must register your business with LHDN’s MyInvois portal and obtain a valid Client ID.
🔧 How to Avoid:
Use Kinrasoft’s step-by-step onboarding guide to link your ERP/accounting system to MyInvois. Once done, your Client ID will be auto-connected in our system.
2. Using Incorrect or Missing TIN Numbers
LHDN requires that all buyer and seller information include the Tax Identification Number (TIN). Missing or wrong TINs will cause automatic rejections.
🔧 How to Avoid:
Kinrasoft validates TIN formats during invoice creation and alerts you if anything is missing or incorrect.
3. Not Following Mandatory Field Formats
Every e-invoice submitted must include mandatory fields like:
- Business registration number (BRN)
- Invoice type
- Product/service details
- Tax breakdowns
Failure to fill these fields exactly as required by LHDN will result in failed submissions.
🔧 How to Avoid:
With Kinrasoft, required fields are clearly labeled and cannot be skipped. Our smart interface ensures all LHDN formatting rules are met.
4. Submitting Duplicate Invoices
Sending the same invoice twice, whether by mistake or due to unclear workflows, will trigger a red flag in the LHDN system.
🔧 How to Avoid:
Kinrasoft generates unique invoice IDs and logs submission timestamps so you can always track invoice history and status.
5. Delayed Submissions
As the system scales, timely submission will be critical. Late or missing e-invoices can trigger audits or penalties once enforcement is in place.
🔧 How to Avoid:
Our dashboard alerts you to unsubmitted invoices and pending actions, so nothing slips through the cracks.
6. Failing to Monitor Rejected Invoices
Some businesses send invoices and assume everything’s fine — only to find out weeks later that their invoices were rejected due to formatting errors or missing data.
🔧 How to Avoid:
Kinrasoft’s LHDN integration notifies you immediately of rejected invoices and gives you the option to correct and resubmit instantly.
