MyInvois Portal: Streamlining E-Invoicing for Taxpayers
The MyInvois Portal, offered by IRBM at no charge, is an e-invoicing solution aimed at easing the implementation of e-Invoice for all taxpayers, especially those not using a business ERP system. This versatile platform is accessible via computers, laptops, and smartphones, enabling users to manage e-Invoices efficiently from anywhere, at any time.
Key Features of MyInvois Portal:
Profile Management: For Users, Taxpayers, Representatives, ERP Systems, and Intermediaries.
Document Management: Includes functionalities to Submit, View, Reject, Cancel, and Print Documents.
Taxpayers can access the MyInvois Portal via the MyTax Portal, the gateway to HASiL e-Services. To facilitate its use, HASiL provides two environments:
