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!
