Starting 1 August 2026, LHDN will validate every e-Invoice using both your Tax Identification Number (TIN) and your latest Business Registration Number (BRN) format.

If your company is still using an older BRN format in your AutoCount Accounting (e-Invoice license module), your e-Invoice submissions will fail once this validation takes effect.

Act now to avoid submission errors, update your BRN directly from AutoCount V2. Please note: a maximum of 2 BRN updates is allowed per account book, so confirm your details are correct before submitting the update.

This update requires AutoCount Accounting V2 Revision 44 or above. If you are on an older revision, please update your AutoCount software first before proceeding with the steps below.

How to Update Your BRN in AutoCount

Step 1: Confirm Your Latest BRN in MyTax Portal

• Log in to the MyTax portal.
• Check that your company's BRN reflects the latest format.
• If it is not updated, contact LHDN to request the correction.
• ⚠️ Do not proceed to Step 2 until your BRN is confirmed as updated in MyTax.

Step 2: Go to e-Invoice Settings in AutoCount

• In AutoCount Accounting, click e-Invoice → e-Invoice Setting.
• Under e-Invoice License, click the "Update BRN to License Portal" button.

Step 3: Enter Your New BRN

• Key in your new BRN number in the field provided.
• Click Update to save the changes.
