1. Introduction

What is Happening

The Malaysian government will be implementing mandatory e-invoicing as part of its tax digitalization strategy by the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia (LHDN) from July 1, 2026. All e-commerce creators must submit the required information from June 2025 onwards. Non-compliance may result in enforcement actions, including commission withdrawal freezes from July 1, 2026.

Why This Matters to Creators

Based on the E-invoice Guidelines issued by LHDN, TikTok Shop is required to issue e-invoices for transactions conducted on the platform. These e-invoices serve as official documentation of income for creators, helping them to maintain accurate financial records and ensure proper income reporting to LHDN for tax compliance purposes.

Key Deadlines and Compliance Timeline

As TikTok Shop will implement the e-Invoice requirements from 1 July 2026 onwards, all TikTok Shop creators shall submit all the required information before that, failing which, TikTok Shop will take enforcement actions.

‼️ Failure to submit and obtain approval by the specified deadline will result in enforcement actions, such as freezing the creator's commission withdrawal function.
