This release focuses on supporting Malaysia’s e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP), an LHDN initiative that helps taxpayers regularize their e-Invoice compliance without penalty. For full details on SVDP, refer to the LHDN e-Invoice Specific Guideline (Version 4.8 and above).
What’s Included in This Update
- Support for e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP)
- New “Year” and “Year.Month” columns at the Self-Billed Command Form and Print Listing
Important:
- This version will upgrade your Database Version to 2.2.97.
- This version requires AutoCount Server Version 2.2.13.14.
1. Support for e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP)
In conjunction with the latest LHDN initiatives, you can now submit SVDP e-Invoices directly through AutoCount Accounting.
Enabling SVDP
You will need to enable this functionality first before you can work with SVDP. To do this:
- Go to the e-Invoice Menu
- Click e-Invoice Setting
- Click the “Setting” button
- Check Enable e-Invoice Special Voluntary Disclosure Programme (SVDP)
Note: since SVDP runs until 31/12/2027, this option will be hidden after that date.
Apply and Submit SVDP e-Invoices
After enabling SVDP from e-Invoice Setting, you can create your Invoice as usual. You’ll notice a new checkbox on the top ribbon, under the “Edit” tab, in the Submit e-Invoice section.
Check the e-Invoice SVDP box to submit your e-Invoice using the SVDP document version. After validation, you can cross-check the submission on the MyInvois Portal, where it should reflect the document version as Invoice 1.3.
An “e-Invoice SVDP” column has also been added to the Invoice Command Form (enabled by default in Column Chooser), so you can easily see which invoices were submitted using SVDP.
This SVDP checkbox functionality is available for the following documents:
- Invoice
- Cash Sale
- Debit Note / Credit Note
- AR Credit Note
- Self-Billed
Note: this SVDP checkbox will be automatically disabled / greyed out after 31/12/2027.
Performing SVDP for Consolidated e-Invoice
Besides transaction-level SVDP, you can also apply SVDP to a Consolidated e-Invoice. Go to Menu > e-Invoice > Consolidated e-Invoice, then click “New” to generate a new Consolidated e-Invoice. In the Generate Consolidated e-Invoice dialog, you’ll find a new “e-Invoice SVDP” checkbox that you can select to submit using SVDP.
Intelligent Detection for Consolidated Late Submission
The system can now automatically detect when you’re making a late submission for a Consolidated e-Invoice:
- If you generate the consolidation on or before the 7th of the current month, it will flag a late submission if you’re consolidating for 2 months earlier or more.
- If you generate the consolidation after the 7th of the current month, it will flag a late submission if you’re consolidating for the previous month or earlier.
Example
| Generate Date | Consolidate Period | Late Submission |
|---|---|---|
| 07/07/2026 | 01/06/2026 – 30/06/2026 (previous month) | No |
| 07/07/2026 | 01/03/2026 – 31/03/2026 (2 months or earlier) | Yes |
| 20/07/2026 | 01/06/2026 – 30/06/2026 (previous month) | Yes |
| 20/07/2026 | 01/03/2026 – 31/03/2026 (2 months or earlier) | Yes |
In these cases, any late Consolidated e-Invoice submission should be made to the MyInvois Portal using SVDP, in compliance with the latest LHDN requirements.
For example, if it’s currently July 2026 and you try to run a Consolidated e-Invoice for May 2026 without checking “e-Invoice SVDP”, the system will detect the late submission and prompt you to confirm whether you want to submit using SVDP.
Note: if SVDP hasn’t been enabled in the settings, the system will first prompt you to enable it.
This happens because you’ve passed the standard submission deadline for Consolidated e-Invoice — the 7th of every month. The system prompts you to use SVDP to avoid penalties while staying compliant with the e-Invoice Specific Guidelines.
If you click Yes, the system proceeds with SVDP. If you click No, the system proceeds without SVDP.
After submission, you can check whether a record was submitted with SVDP from both the MyInvois Portal and the Consolidated e-Invoice main screen, using the “e-Invoice SVDP” column (enabled by default in Column Chooser).
Warning for Consolidating Multiple Months’ Transactions
Per the e-Invoice Specific Guideline, taxpayers should not lump the total amount of multiple months’ transactions together and submit it as a single Consolidated e-Invoice.
In line with this requirement, the system will now show a warning if you try to generate a Consolidated e-Invoice covering multiple months’ transactions at once.
If you click Yes, the system will still proceed with the consolidation. If you click No, the system will abort and let you adjust the consolidation period.
2. New “Year” and “Year.Month” Columns at Self-Billed Command Form and Print Listing
In the Self-Billed function, we’ve added two new columns, “Year” and “Year.Month”, to make grid filtering easier. You can add these columns via Column Chooser.
