To facilitate transition to e-Invoice, taxpayers can select the most suitable mechanism to transmit e-Invoices to IRBM, based on their business requirements and specific situation.
There are two (2) options for the e-Invoice transmission mechanisms for taxpayers selection:

- A portal hosted by IRBM
- Accessible to all taxpayers at no cost
- Also accessible to taxpayers who need to issue e-Invoice where Application Programming Interface (API) connection is unavailable
