IRB rolls out e-invoice for businesses up to RM5 million and a new self-assessment stamp duty system to drive digital tax reform.
PUTRAJAYA: The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) will implement two major national taxation initiatives from January 1, 2026.
Phase 4 of the e-invoice system will involve taxpayers with annual income or sales of up to RM5 million.
The initiative serves as a key catalyst for the 13th Malaysia Plan in advancing digitalisation and empowering micro, small and medium enterprises.

IRB said the e-invoice helps improve business operational efficiency and facilitates transparent tax compliance.
“To date, more than 843 million e-invoices have been recorded involving 113,800 taxpayers nationwide,” the board said in a statement.
It expressed appreciation to more than 48,800 businesses that have voluntarily adopted e-invoice early.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced an exemption for taxpayers with annual income below RM1 million.
This exemption allows small businesses time to strengthen their economic position before fully transitioning.
Nevertheless, IRB encouraged all taxpayers to explore the benefits of adopting e-invoice voluntarily.
To support the initiative, IRB has provided the free MyInvois Portal, including the MyInvois e-POS platform.
Businesses that register and use MyInvois e-POS from January 1 to June 30, 2026 will receive a free receipt printer.
In a related development, Phase 1 of the Stamp Duty Self-Assessment System (STSDS) will fully replace the existing STAMPS System.
“All stamping transactions will be migrated to the e-Stamp Duty System beginning Jan 1, 2026,” IRB said.
Log in testing for the MyTax Portal had been made available from December 17 to facilitate a smooth transition.
Some STAMPS users have yet to obtain a Tax Identification Number or Digital Certificate, affecting portal access.
As a temporary measure, existing STAMPS users can access the e-Stamp Duty System via a specific URL until June 30, 2026.
IRB encouraged all stamp duty payers and agents to use the MyTax portal as the main access hub.
The STAMPS System will be closed from 6 pm today for maintenance and data migration.
The e-Stamp Duty System will be accessible from 8 am tomorrow.
“IRB remains committed to providing continuous support to ensure the smooth and effective implementation of both initiatives,” the statement read.
