Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board (HASiL) has announced the introduction of new document versions in the SDK to support the e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP), as an ongoing effort to support taxpayers in regularizing their e-Invoice compliance, effective period until 31 December 2027.
Background
Malaysia’s MyInvois e-invoicing framework has been progressively rolled out since 2024, with HASiL continuing to expand the system’s capabilities in support of broader compliance goals. HASiL is actively cross-referencing e-invoice transaction data submitted through MyInvois against taxpayers’ income tax returns to identify unreported income.The e-Invoice SVDP is a dedicated mechanism allowing taxpayers to regularise past e-invoicing non-compliance during a defined window and close gaps identified by HASiL.
What’s New
HASiL has introduced two new document versions in the MyInvois SDK specifically for use under the SVDP:
-
SVDP 1.2 – without digital signature
-
SVDP 1.3 – with digital signature
These versions are exclusively available during the SVDP effective period and may not be used outside of it. All existing document validation rules remain applicable unless otherwise specified in the SDK documentation.
Taxpayers and service providers integrating with the MyInvois system are required to:
-
Update their API integrations to support document versions SVDP 1.2 and SVDP 1.3
-
Ensure that these document versions are only submitted during the SVDP effective period
-
For Batch Upload users: download and use the latest version of the Batch Upload template that supports SVDP 1.2 and SVDP 1.3 prior to submitting e-invoices under the programme
Timeline
The e-Invoice SVDP is effective through 31 December 2027. The new document versions (SVDP 1.2 and SVDP 1.3) are available for use during this period only.
Business Impact
Businesses and service providers operating within the MyInvois framework who wish to participate in the SVDP — or support taxpayer clients doing so — will need to update their system integrations to accommodate the new document versions. Failure to update may prevent taxpayers from submitting SVDP e-invoices and regularising past compliance gaps before the programme’s deadline.
