Time-billed, milestone-billed, retainers — every billing model compliant.
Professional services in Malaysia — consulting, legal, design, accounting, engineering — bills in a dozen different ways: time-based, milestone, retainer, fixed-fee, contingency. MyInvois Bridge handles every billing pattern with the same LHDN-compliant pipeline. Your invoicing rhythm stays yours; the LHDN side becomes invisible.
Three patterns every services firm runs into.
- 01
Time-billing tools don't speak MyInvois
Harvest, Toggl, Clio, Practice — none ship with LHDN MyInvois support. Export the time-billing summary as CSV; the bridge handles the LHDN side without changing how your team logs hours.
- 02
Retainers + milestones need structured handling
A retainer invoice and a milestone invoice are both type-01 to LHDN, but your reconciliation depends on knowing which is which. The bridge's customer catalog + product catalog let you tag every invoice with the contract-line context for clean year-end reporting.
- 03
Reimbursable expenses complicate the line items
Pass-through expenses (flights, hotels, third-party software) ride on the same invoice as your professional fees but carry different tax treatment. The bridge's tax-category-per-line-item model handles this without forcing a separate invoice.
Three patterns services firms settle into.
Time-billing CSV → bridge → LHDN
Monthly export from Harvest / Clio / Practice → CSV upload → MyInvois submission. Your timekeeper logs hours the way they always have; the LHDN side runs at month-end without manual entry.
Retainer vs. milestone tagging
Tag every invoice with the contract line item it relates to using the catalog. Year-end reporting becomes straightforward — filter the audit log by tag, get the LHDN UUIDs for every retainer or milestone invoice issued.
Per-line tax categories
Professional fee lines carry your standard tax category; reimbursable-expense lines carry zero-rated or exempt categories as appropriate. The bridge validates per-line tax assignment before submission.
