The exact wording, by tax treatment

When no tax is charged, the invoice has to say why — in the words the law names. Each is linked to the statute or tax authority it was read from.

Imported taxable service — service tax accounted for by the recipient (s. 26A, Service Tax Act 2018)
Sales tax not charged — export of goods (Sales Tax Act 2018)
Zero-ratedstatute ↗
Sales tax not charged — exempted goods (Sales Tax (Goods Exempted From Tax) Order 2022)
Exempt from sales tax (Sales Tax (Persons Exempted From Payment Of Tax) Order 2018)
Out of scopestatute ↗
Not subject to Malaysian sales and service tax
Foreign seller (import)statute ↗
Sales tax on the imported goods is paid by the importer to the Royal Malaysian Customs (s. 8, Sales Tax Act 2018)
The client's step: Suppliers in scope submit the e-invoice to MyInvois (LHDN), which returns the Unique Identifier Number and QR code printed on the validated copy — the client's step.

LHDN e-Invoice Guideline: supplier name/TIN/registration/SST no./MSIC/address/contact, buyer name/TIN/registration/address/contact, invoice number, date and time, currency, exchange rate, line description/quantity/unit price/tax type/tax rate/tax amount/subtotal, total.

The format, and who sends it

Malaysia runs a clearance / registration platform, so issuing the legal document is a step the seller's own system takes.
