LHDN e-Invoice BRN Validation Starts 1 August 2026: What You Need to Do

LHDN has announced that starting 1 August 2026, TIN and BRN validation will be strictly enforced for all e-Invoice submissions to MyInvois Portal. Companies registered with SSM or SKM must be using the new 12-digit BRN format. e-Invoices submitted with the old BRN format may fail validation.

Since your AutoCount e-Invoice license is tied to your BRN, any BRN update with LHDN must also be reflected in your AutoCount Accounting software.

How to Check Your BRN Format in AutoCount

1. Go to Tax → Tax Entity Maintenance.
2. Find your company’s TIN number.
3. Check the Identity No. (Business Reg. No.) field — confirm it’s the new 12-digit BRN format.

How to Update If You’re Still on the Old BRN

1. Update your MyTax profile: Contact LHDN to ensure your MyTax record reflects the new BRN format.
2. Update your AutoCount e-Invoice: Contact your AutoCount partner to update your license in AutoCount software. Once done, you can submit e-Invoices as usual.

Don’t wait until the deadline and check your BRN format now to avoid any disruption to your e-Invoice submissions after 1 August 2026.
