Introduction

Before integrating AutoCount Accounting Software with the MyTax portal for e-Invoice submission, you must first configure the MyTax portal. This involves granting AutoCount the necessary permissions as a Intermediary and generating the Secret ID and Secret Key. These credentials will be used to establish the connection between AutoCount and the MyTax system managed by Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN).

Follow these steps to set up MyTax for e-Invoice integration:

Step 1: Log in to MyTax Portal

1. Visit the MyTax Portal.
2. Log in using your corporate tax identification number (TIN) and password.
3. If you do not have an account, register for one by following the on-screen instructions provided by LHDN.
4. On the Dashboard top menu, look for "MyInvois" section.

Step 2: Assign AutoCount as a Intermediary

1. Navigate to the Taxpayer Menu section within the MyInvois portal.
2. Locate the option and click to manage View Taxpayer Profile.

1. Add AutoCount as a Intermediary by specifying:
   • TIN: C20239710060
   • BRN: 200601031841
   • Name: AUTO COUNT SDN BHD
2. Set the representation from your setup date to 31st December of the next three years (or to any date you prefer).
3. Grant all the necessary permissions for AutoCount to access e-Invoice submission functionalities.
4. Save the changes.

Step 3: Generate API Credentials (Secret ID & Secret Key)

1. Go to Taxpayer Profile again in the MyInvois portal.
2. Click on the “Register ERP” and type “AutoCount” (any name will do) and choose the Client Secret Expiration “3 Years” and check the “Primary ERP” box.
3. The system will generate a Secret ID and Secret Key.
4. Copy and securely store both credentials, as they will be needed to configure AutoCount.

Step 4: Key in API Access

1. Open AutoCount software, go to e-Invoice > e-Invoice Setting.
2. Tick "Enable e-Invoice" and set the Start Date, then click OK.
3. Click "Activate e-Invoice on AIP Server".
   - Click "Click to add new TIN" to create your company's Tax Entity.
   - Enter your Client Secret ID and Client Secret Key (1 or 2), then click Activate.

1. Ensure status shows: "e-Invoice is activated with AIP ID". This means your system is connected to LHDN.
