Alongside the developments of the CTC e-invoice reporting mandate in Malaysia, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) has become the Peppol Authority in the country.
MDEC is implementing the Peppol framework in Malaysia and it will be available for the exchange of e-invoices, complementing the e-invoice reporting mandate, which will not handle the delivery of e-invoices between the parties.
Nonetheless, the Peppol framework in the country is subject to local accreditation requirements and only Peppol Accredited Service Providers or Peppol Ready Service Providers who have gone though the technical and formal accreditation processes can be used.
MDEC has now released the first version of the e-invoicing specifications for Peppol in Malaysia, in compliance with the Peppol International PINT Model. The documentation includes specifications for the billing process as well as for self-billing processes.
