In Malaysia, both individuals and entities who are registered taxpayers with the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (IRBM) are assigned with a Tax Identification Number (TIN) known as “Nombor Pengenalan Cukai”.

TIN will be issued to all Malaysian citizens who attained the age of 18 years old and above.

Effective 11 October 2019, the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM) adopted a new 12-digit registration number format for all companies, businesses, and Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs).

To receive a validated e-Invoice, all SSM-registered businesses must provide their updated 12-digit registration number as required by IRBM.

e-Invoices may still be issued if the policyholder does not directly provide their TIN, as the insurer can retrieve it using IRBM’s TIN Search API. However, in certain cases, the TIN may not be found. To avoid delays or rejection of the e-Invoice, policyholders are strongly encouraged to provide their correct TIN.

TIN search failures are governed by IRBM’s system. Common scenarios include:

  • Multiple TINs registered under the same taxpayer.
  • Taxpayers use an ID type not recognized or registered with IRBM, such as:
    • Police ID
    • Army ID
    • Old SSM Number
  • Mismatch of ID number/ ID type between BSIB’s record and MyTax profile – for example, a sole proprietor’s BSIB record uses a Business Registration Number, while his/ her MyTax profile is registered under NRIC.

If the information provided is incomplete or incorrect, the validation from IRBM will be fail and rejected, and the e-Invoice will not be issued to the policyholder.

Once an e-Invoice has been validated by IRBM, it cannot be revised or edited. Any changes would require cancellation of the original transaction and reissuance of a new one with the correct details.
