Employee expense claims: why the company buyer matters
When employees spend on behalf of a company, collecting an e-Invoice in the company’s name helps keep expense evidence consistent with the employer’s records.
There is a concession when that is difficult
Section 7.4 allows an employee-name e-Invoice or existing supporting documentation as proof of expense for tax purposes.
The employer still needs evidence
Under section 7.5, the employer must be able to prove the employee incurred the expense on its behalf for this exception to apply.
An e-Invoice supports your records; it does not by itself make an expense tax-deductible. Keep the receipt and evidence of the business purpose, and confirm eligibility with your accountant.

Before you request an e-Invoice
A merchant e-Invoice link
Automation depends on the merchant’s supported workflow and an available e-Invoice link or QR code. A plain receipt is not automatically a validated e-Invoice.
A complete buyer profile
Prepare the company name, TIN, business registration number, address and contact details required by the merchant. Review the selected profile before submitting.
Internet access
e-Invoice requests are processed online. Receipt and buyer details are shared with the backend and the merchant to complete the request.
A confirmed outcome
A submitted request is not the same as a validated e-Invoice. Check the request history for the outcome and any follow-up required.
e-Invoice questions, answered
How much does an e-Invoice request cost?
5 credits per receipt submission. The app shows the total before confirmation. Optional receipt extraction or saving follows its own scan-credit rules.
Does ReceiptLah submit directly to LHDN?
ReceiptLah automates the buyer’s request through the merchant’s e-Invoice portal. The merchant issues the invoice and submits it for LHDN validation; ReceiptLah tracks the request outcome.
Can I use my company’s buyer details?
Yes. Select a saved company buyer profile so ReceiptLah can fill the merchant form with the company details instead of retyping them for each receipt.
Does it work with every receipt?
Automation requires a merchant e-Invoice link or QR code and depends on the merchant’s supported workflow. Availability, receipt eligibility and merchant requirements can vary.
Can I claim an expense without a company-name e-Invoice?
LHDN provides a concession for certain employee expenses: an employee-name e-Invoice or existing supporting documents may be used when the employer can prove the employee acted on its behalf. Tax deductibility still depends on the applicable rules.
Can e-Invoice requests work offline?
No. e-Invoice processing requires internet access and shares the receipt and selected buyer details with the backend and merchant. Core receipt organization remains offline-first.
Less form filling. Better company expense records.
Download ReceiptLah, choose your company buyer profile and request an e-Invoice from your next eligible receipt.
