Overall of Self-billing E-invoice
- When a sale or transaction is concluded, the Supplier issues an e-Invoice to recognize their income and as a record of the Buyer’s spending (proof of expense).
- However, there are certain circumstances where another party, other than the Supplier, is allowed to issue a self-billed e-Invoice on behalf of the Supplier. This is known as a self-billing e-Invoice.
For e-Invoice purposes, self-billed e-Invoice is allowed for the following transactions:
- Payment to agents, dealers, distributors, etc.
- Goods sold or services rendered by foreign suppliers
- Profit distribution (e.g., dividend distribution)
- e-Commerce transactions

- Acquisition of goods or services from individual taxpayers
- Where a Buyer is required to issue a self-billed e-Invoice, the Buyer assumes the role of the Supplier to be the issuer of the e-Invoice and submits it to the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) for validation. Upon validation, the Buyer can use the validated e-Invoice as proof of expense for tax purposes .

Payment to individual requires self billed e-invoice. What about payment to individual by staff and submit by claim afterwards? For example, for company event, we buy some kuih muih from Makcik who is an individual not conducting business and the company issue self-billed e-invoice during payment made. What if the same buy from a staff, does the company going to issue self billed e-invoice to Makcik? Which means the staff has to request all the information from Makcik for Finance to issue self-billed e-invoice? Otherwise the treatment for payment to individual won’t be the same for payment directly to Makcik and via staff claim. Kindly advise. Thank you.
