  1. 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.
