E-Invoice Requirements for Salon / Beauty Business in Malaysia (2026)
Malaysia's MyInvois e-invoicing mandate is transforming how salon / beauty business businesses issue and receive invoices. Whether you're already mandated or preparing for Phase 4 (January 2026), this guide gives you the clear, practical steps to get compliant.
Does this apply to your Salon / Beauty Business business?
Phase 4 of Malaysia's MyInvois mandate covers all businesses with annual turnover above RM 1 million, effective 1 January 2026 with a grace period until 30 June 2026. Below the RM 1 million threshold, compliance is currently voluntary — but collecting the required data now puts you ahead.
Why Salon / Beauty Business businesses need to act now
Beauty businesses growing into corporate wellness programs and aesthetic clinic territory need to be ready with the correct MSIC classification and corporate invoicing setup before the MyInvois deadline.
MSIC Code for Salon / Beauty Business
LHDN requires your MSIC (Malaysia Standard Industrial Classification) code on every e-invoice submission. For salon / beauty business: 96021 (Beauty and other personal services — hairdressing and barber services) or 96022 (Beauty treatment).
Verify your exact MSIC code at dosm.gov.my or the LHDN MyInvois portal.

Frequently asked questions for Salon / Beauty Business in Malaysia
Does a hair salon or beauty centre need to comply with MyInvois in 2026?
Beauty businesses with annual revenue above RM 1 million must comply from 1 January 2026. Most standalone salons are below this threshold and are not yet mandated — but salon chains, beauty centres with corporate clients, and high-end aesthetic clinics may qualify.
Are salon services subject to SST in Malaysia?
Hairdressing and general beauty services are generally not subject to Service Tax for most small beauty businesses. However, upscale beauty centres providing luxury and aesthetic services, or those part of hotel groups, may attract Service Tax. Verify your specific situation with a tax consultant.
How do corporate wellness packages work under MyInvois?
Corporate wellness packages billed to companies (HR wellness budgets, corporate accounts) are B2B transactions requiring individual e-invoices. You need the corporate client's TIN and BRN. Regular individual customer sessions are B2C — eligible for consolidated monthly e-invoicing.
What about aesthetic and medical beauty procedures — are they classified differently?
Aesthetic procedures with medical elements (e.g., Botox, fillers administered by licensed doctors) may be classified under medical services (MSIC 86). Pure cosmetic treatments (facials, massages, hair treatments) fall under MSIC 96. Having the correct MSIC on e-invoices matters for classification.
