🏗️ 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
