(Tax Update) Latest IRB Updates on e-Invoice Downtime & e-Ansuran Tax Instalment

The Inland Revenue Board (IRB) released two key updates recently that every SME should know.

First, the e-Invoice Guideline (Version 4.3). This version replaces the earlier Version 4.2 issued just a month before.

It’s about how businesses should handle system disruptions when using the MyInvois platform.

In simple words, what if the system goes down when you're about to submit your e-Invoice?

IRB says: Don’t panic. Just document everything.

Keep screenshots. Save error messages. Record your attempts to comply.

If MyInvois goes offline due to maintenance, system failure or outage, IRB will not penalise you – if you can show proof.

All cases will be reviewed individually. The Director General of Inland Revenue will decide based on the reasonableness of your justification.

So, the message is clear: If the system fails, you don’t fail — as long as you have evidence.

Second update: e-Ansuran – Instalment Application for Tax Payment

Effective from 5 March 2025, taxpayers can now apply online to pay their income tax in instalments.

This is done through MyTax portal at https://mytax.hasil.gov.my.

It’s simple, but there are conditions:

  • The tax amount must be more than RM300.

  • You can split the payment into a maximum of 6 instalments.

  • This is only for income tax (including penalties).

  • If you already have an instalment plan running, you can’t combine it with this.

  • If you want to cancel your application, it must be done at the IRB office (not online).

What should SMEs do now?

✅ Get your e-Invoice compliance checklist ready.
✅ Prepare a backup SOP for system errors.

✅ Consider e-Ansuran if you need to manage cash flow.
