CYBERJAYA, Nov 3 — As of Nov 2, about 269,900 taxpayers submitted a total of 2.14 billion e-invoices, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said its implementation is not intended to introduce new taxes or increase the public’s tax burden.
On the contrary, e-invoices are an important instrument to uphold fairness, detect non-compliance and ensure that all parties fulfil their respective tax responsibilities, he said.
The use of the latest technology, data analytics and automation is important in strengthening tax administration. However, decisions must not be left entirely to technology without human consideration, particularly when people’s rights and interests are involved, he said.
