Introduction

The transition to LHDN’s e-Invoice mandate represents a fundamental shift in Malaysian tax compliance. For businesses that have faced system hurdles, misinterpreted guidelines, or missed submissions during the rollout, the Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP) provides a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to do it right. Starting from 7 July 2026, this initiative allows taxpayers to regularise their compliance and correct previous errors or omissions WITHOUT facing penalties.

However, this is your last chance for changes and rectification. Businesses must act Immediately, before LHDN’s e-Invoice audit teams arrive at your door.

To successfully secure the penalty waiver, all voluntary disclosures must be submitted in absolute good faith—meaning they must be entirely free from fraud, willful default, or negligence

What Will You Learn?

  • Recognize the strict criteria, mechanism, and timeline of the LHDN SVDP to ensure penalty-free submissions.
  • Identify hidden gaps in internal timelines, exemptions, and system integrations that are currently generating non-compliant data.
  • Pinpoint and rectify critical revenue reporting errors, including wrongly recorded SST fields, unsubmitted e-Invoices, and incorrect treatments of deposits or credit/debit notes.
  • Safeguard purchasing and expense processes by accurately managing Self-Billed e-Invoices for imported goods/services and payments made to agents, dealers, and individuals.
  • Execute the step-by-step SVDP rectification process accurately using the mandated SVDP 1.2 or 1.3 e-Invoice versions.
  • Prepare the necessary documentation, evidence, and justifications in good faith to safely utilize the SVDP without triggering further LHDN red flags.
