e-Invoicing

An e-Invoice is a digital representation of a transaction between a supplier and a buyer, in the format specified and validated by IRBM, which contains the same essential information as a traditional document such as supplier and buyer details, description of items or services acquired, quantity, price excluding tax, tax and total amount.

No, e-Invoices are applicable to both domestic and cross-border transactions.

For cross-border transactions, these include both services rendered by the Bank to foreign clients and goods or services rendered by foreign suppliers to the Bank.

You will continue to receive SCB’s existing statement/advice etc and e-Invoice will be provided upon request on prospective basis.

Each e-Invoice contains a reference number (in the form of a QR code) assigned by IRBM, representing a unique identification of the e-Invoice which indicates that the document has been validated by IRBM.

e-Invoice includes only certain transactions that SCB is required to report to IRBM (for example, fees, charges, etc., while loan/ financing principal payments do not require e-Invoice).
