Many businesses currently view e-Invoice and MITRS as separate compliance obligations.

One relates to invoicing. The other relates to tax filing.

In practice, they are becoming increasingly connected.

e-Invoice provides transaction-level information throughout the year. MITRS provides LHDN with the audited financial statements, tax computation, capital allowance schedules and other supporting tax information after year end.

Put simply:

𝗲-𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱. 𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗥𝗦 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱.

The issue is no longer whether information can be produced during an audit.

The issue is whether:
• Revenue captured through e-Invoice reconciles to the financial statements.
• Financial statements reconcile to the income tax computation.
• Tax adjustments claimed can be supported by proper records.

The real change is not the tax law itself.

The real change is that information reaches LHDN much earlier and in a more structured form than before.

Businesses preparing for MITRS should start reviewing consistency between their e-Invoice records, accounting records and tax computations now, rather than waiting until filing season.

𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗥𝗦 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 (𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟯): 𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀 𝗪𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

Most MITRS issues are not caused by missing documents.

They arise because the audited financial statements, tax computation, capital allowance schedule and incentive schedules do not fully align with one another.

Before a MITRS submission is made, we typically review five areas that frequently create inconsistencies:
🔴 Form C vs final audited financial statements
🔴 Fixed asset note vs capital allowance schedule
🔴 Expense disclosures vs tax treatment
🔴 Related party transactions and director-related balances
🔴 Incentive claims and supporting documentation

One common example involves tax computations prepared based on draft accounts, followed by audit adjustments that are not reflected throughout the remaining schedules.

Under MITRS, those documents are submitted together.

Consistency becomes increasingly important.

This is also one reason why companies with delayed audits should review their Form C filing position early. Once filing timelines become compressed, the opportunity to resolve inconsistencies becomes much more limited.

LHDN issued a clarification yesterday on stamp duty for employment contracts. Three rules every employer needs to know:

1️⃣ Salary RM3,000/month and below — no stamping, no endorsement needed

2️⃣ Salary above RM3,000/month — only the master contract needs stamping. Ancillary documents on the same employment arrangement do not

3️⃣ General Exemption instruments — endorsement with LHDN still required even where no duty is payable

"My friend company claim also."

We hear this regularly. And our answer is never "can claim or not?"

Our answer is: "𝗜𝗳 𝗟𝗛𝗗𝗡 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 — 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺?"

That question has always mattered. What MITRS changes is how soon it becomes relevant.

𝗕𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗥𝗦, supporting documents sat in a filing cabinet until LHDN asked for them. The gap between filing and scrutiny gave many companies room to hold positions they had never fully reviewed.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗬𝗔 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱, that gap has narrowed. Under MITRS (s.82B, ITA 1967), the audited financial statements, tax computation, capital allowance schedule, and incentive computations are submitted together — as a set. An expense absorbed into "other expenditure" on Form C may now appear as a named line in the AFS notes.

The deductibility rules have not changed. What has changed is 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲.
Three mindsets we see regularly — and why each one creates risk:

✗ "𝗠𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗼" — Peer behaviour is not a legal defence.
✗ "𝗟𝗛𝗗𝗡 𝘄𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗵" — Under MITRS, the documents arrive at LHDN together at filing stage.
✗ "𝗡𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲" — Past compliance experience does not protect a position that was never defensible.

The better question today is not "Can we claim this?"

It is: "𝗜𝗳 𝗟𝗛𝗗𝗡 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 — 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺?"

Most businesses think the challenge with MITRS is uploading the documents on time.

Our view is different.

The bigger question is whether the four documents — audited financial statements, tax computation, capital allowance schedule, and incentive computation — tell the same story when read together.

Before MITRS, LHDN received aggregated figures from Form C. Commission payments, maintenance costs, professional fees — all lumped under broad expense categories. The breakdown only surfaced if additional documents were requested. Now those details are already sitting in the audited financial statements that form part of every MITRS submission.

A missed deadline may lead to a penalty. An inconsistent submission may require much more explanation later.

We have gone through MITRS submissions ourselves. The full article covers what each document reveals, which expense lines are worth reviewing before you upload, and what a defensible submission looks like.

FYE 31/12/2025: MITRS deadline is 30/09/2026. If you are filing Form C now, your window opens immediately after.

Has your company filed Form C for YA 2025 yet — or are you still in the middle of it?

A new director came to us this week convinced his 2026 Sdn Bhd had until 2027 before e-Invoice was his problem.

He was half right.

The actual answer depends on two things most new directors haven't checked — and getting either one wrong creates a real headache, in both directions.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭: 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆?

Before turnover even matters, check whether you qualify for the e-Invoice exemption. Most people skip this and go straight to the revenue question. Don't.

If you have a corporate shareholder above RM1 million, or you're a subsidiary of a group, the exemption is gone — regardless of how much or how little your company made this year.

𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗬𝗔𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿?

If you passed the shareholding check and your first-year revenue crossed RM1 million — you implement from 01/01/2028. Not now. Two years away.

If it stayed below RM1 million — you're exempt until the year you eventually cross that threshold.

The wrong assumption in either direction carries real risk. Think you're exempt when you're not — non-compliance from day one. Think you must implement immediately when you actually qualify for deferral — money spent on a system you don't need yet.

𝗟𝗛𝗗𝗡 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲-𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲 (𝗦𝗩𝗗𝗣) 𝗼𝗻 𝟳 𝗝𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲.

If your business has missed e-Invoice submissions, format errors, or late consolidated e-Invoices from your mandatory implementation date onwards — you can correct those records without penalty until 31 December 2027.

Three things to know before you act:
❶ 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗱.

Case law shows LHDN treats inaccurate disclosures as “unclean hands” and may reject the SVDP outcome — even after initial acceptance.

What you submit must be accurate against what LHDN will subsequently find, not just honest in intent.

A known gap that was deliberately deferred is not the same as a genuine systems failure.

❷ 𝗦𝗩𝗗𝗣 𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗲-𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 — 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘅.

Correcting your e-Invoice records without addressing a matching income declaration gap can make the income gap more visible.
If both exist, review both — in the right order.

❸ 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆.

Use SVDP 1.2 or SVDP 1.3 version strings only.

Consolidated e-Invoices must be submitted month by month — not a lump sum.

Transactions above RM10,000 still need individual e-Invoices even under SVDP.

One fee removed. The compliance chain is still fully intact.

Here's what the waiver does NOT cover:
❌ Audit work still needs to be completed
❌ Form C deadline remains 31/08/2026
❌ MITRS submission (30 days after Form C) is unchanged
❌ SSM compound risk is not removed
❌ If you already hold an approved EOT — the waiver does not apply to you
❌ The EOT window for YE 31/12/2025 closed on 23/06/2026

We published the full breakdown of how one late audit now triggers three separate compliance risks — MBRS-XBRL, MITRS, and the SSM/LHDN extension sequence — last week: https://kschia.com.my/late-audited-accounts-2026-mbrs-xbrl-mitrs-risk/

The waiver buys breathing room on one cost line. It doesn't change the deadline for anything else.

Has your company's audit been completed yet for YE 31/12/2025?

Most directors check this when profit drops — fewer check whether the original CP204 was even filed. We've seen LHDN compounds issued for non-filing alone, before any tax shortfall is calculated.
