From July 25, 2024, all online transactions with PUSPAKOM (online as well as at all branches) will require providing the Tax Identification Number (TIN) which is issued to each taxpayer by the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN).
This is necessary as the electronic invoicing system or e-invoicing is being implemented in accordance with the directives of the LHDN. This system aims to coordinate and improve the country’s taxation system as well as promoting transparency in financial and taxation matters. It will apply to all businesses in Malaysia.
The e-invoicing system will not only address the issue of revenue leakage, but also provide a more accurate assessment of compliance risk. This step is part of the government’s initiative to drive economic sustainability and transparency in national taxation.
PUSPAKOM therefore advises all customers to ensure they have Tax Identification Number (TIN) ready before making an appointment or using services at www.mypuspakom.com.my. Without this information, the payment transactions cannot be processed correctly by PUSPAKOM and the LHDN.
For corporate customers, besides the TIN, the applicant must also provide the company registration number and SST number. Individuals need only provide their TIN and identification/MyKad number.
LHDN presumes that everyone who owns a motor vehicle would also be a taxpayer and therefore have a TIN. If you do not have one, then you should contact the LHDN to obtain one.
