What happens if we submit the wrong classification code in an e-Invoice?

Created by QNE Software Sdn bhd, Modified on Thu, 14 Aug at 5:40 PM by QNE Software Sdn bhd

The e-Invoice Guideline and the Income Tax Act do not specifically mention any penalty or offence for incorrect classification codes. However, using the wrong code may:


1. Cause mismatches in reporting or analysis by LHDN.

2. Trigger questions during audits or data reviews.

3. Affect the accuracy of your internal accounting and tax records.


Recommendation: Always double-check classification codes before submission to ensure accurate reporting and avoid unnecessary clarifications from LHDN.
