New E-Invoice Requirement
for Construction Materials:
What Every Hardware Shop Must Know
Starting 2024/2025, Malaysia’s LHDN mandates that businesses dealing in certain construction materials must issue e-Invoices when selling these items — even if you're a traditional hardware store.
The materials list (as shown in the photo) includes:
- Cement
- Sanitary wares (ceramic)
- Glass (e.g., tinted, coated, safety)
- Steel sheets & coils
- Timber roof truss systems
- Insulation & radiant barrier
- …and more!
The Challenge for Hardware Stores
Many hardware retailers face these common headaches:
- Too many SKUs and overlapping items (some need e-Invoice, some don’t)
- Frontline staff unsure which items are affected
- Manual checking slows down sales
- Risk of non-compliance & penalties from LHDN
