Summary
The rapid acceleration of digitalisation is transforming the tax landscape in Malaysia, reshaping how businesses manage compliance, reporting and financial operations. This shift is driven by ongoing regulatory developments, including the Inland Revenue Board of Malaysia’s (IRBM) phased implementation of e-Invoicing, alongside broader initiatives to enhance tax compliance and digital reporting requirements. These developments reflect the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan (RMK13), which emphasises digitalisation, data-driven governance and digital government (GovTech) to strengthen transparency, efficiency and revenue collection.
From e-Invoicing adoption to data-driven tax administration, organisations across accounting, finance and business sectors must adapt to evolving regulatory expectations and technological advancements. This forum brings together industry practitioners, tax experts and finance professionals to explore these changes, offering practical insights into regulatory updates, implementation challenges and strategies to ensure compliance while leveraging digital tools for greater efficiency and accuracy.
Registration starts at 8.45am and participants will be eligible to obtain 4 CPD hours.
