| Shipped rates |
|
| On documents | Your SST registration number and business details on every invoice, quotation, receipt, and voucher. |
| Currency | Malaysian ringgit (MYR) as the home currency, with the right number of decimals on every document and in the books. |
| Languages | Workspace in English; French, German, Spanish, Arabic, and Hindi are also available. |
| Financial year | Companies choose their own year end; the calendar year is common. Set yours, and lock closed periods. |
Why it fits here
Built for how business runs in Malaysia.
Flowyana is SST accounting software for Malaysian businesses that want sales, stock, purchasing, payroll, and the books in one place. SST is really two taxes: sales tax on goods and service tax on services, at different rates. Software that offers one “tax rate” field forces workarounds. Flowyana ships them as separate codes, applies the right one per product or service, and posts each to its own ledger so the tax summary shows sales tax and service tax apart.
From those postings, the standard tax return report totals taxable sales and the tax charged by rate for the period you choose, with every figure opening to its documents. There is no SST-02 layout yet, so you or your tax agent carry the figures to the return and file on the Customs portal, then lock the period so nothing posts behind it.
F&B and retail operate on outlets. Each outlet keeps its own tills, cash sessions, and staff, who see only their outlet. The restaurant POS runs floors, kitchen tickets, and service tax on the bill, with recipes that consume stock; both tills keep selling when the connection drops. Producers run bills of materials and production orders on the same books.
E-invoicing now reaches businesses down to RM1 million in turnover. Flowyana does not submit invoices to MyInvois, so if you are in scope, that step needs a MyInvois-connected solution; what Flowyana gives you is structured, tax-split invoices with your registration details on every one. Books and documents are kept in ringgit; invoicing in several currencies is not available yet.
Compliance, stated plainly
E-invoicing and filing in Malaysia
Malaysia replaced GST with the Sales and Service Tax in September 2018. Sales tax applies to taxable goods at 10% or 5%; service tax applies to taxable services at 8%, or 6% for food and beverage, telecommunications, parking, and logistics. From 1 July 2025 both were extended to more goods and services, including rental, construction, and private healthcare and education services. SST returns are filed every two months. E-invoicing through LHDN’s MyInvois system has been phased in by turnover since August 2024; businesses with annual turnover between RM1 million and RM5 million joined from 1 January 2026, businesses below RM1 million are exempt, and consolidated e-invoices are accepted through 31 December 2026 under a relaxation period.

What Flowyana does — and does not — claim
- Does: posts SST to its own ledger on every sale, purchase, expense, and POS settlement; keeps a tax summary that agrees with the ledger; puts your SST registration number on every document; locks closed periods.
- Does not: claim certified integration with any e-invoicing or filing platform. Get any vendor’s status in writing before you buy — including ours — and let your accountant confirm what and when you must file.

Flowyana in Malaysia, answered.
Malaysia has SST, not GST. Does Flowyana handle it?
Yes. GST was replaced by SST in 2018, and the Malaysia profile ships sales tax at 10% and 5% and service tax at 8% and 6% as separate codes. Each applies per product or service and posts to its own ledger.
Does it prepare the SST-02 return?
It gives you a standard tax return report from your own postings, with taxable sales and tax by rate for the period you choose. There is no SST-02 layout yet. Filing on the Customs portal is done by you or your tax agent.
Is Flowyana integrated with LHDN e-invoicing?
No. We do not claim MyInvois integration, and Flowyana does not submit e-invoices. Confirm any vendor’s status in writing before relying on it — including ours — and check your phase and exemptions with your tax agent. Your invoices are already structured, tax-split records.
Can an F&B outlet charge service tax on the bill?
Yes. The 6% service tax code can be set on food and beverage items, posts to its own ledger, and the receipt, the voucher, and the tax summary show the same figure.
Can we run several outlets under one company?
Yes. Each outlet keeps its own tills, cash sessions, stock, and staff, who see only their outlet, while the owner reads per-outlet and consolidated reports.
Does payroll handle EPF and SOCSO?
No. Payroll builds payslips from salary structures, attendance, and leave, and posts the cost to your books, but it does not prepare EPF, SOCSO, or PCB submissions.
Can we invoice in Singapore dollars or US dollars?
Not yet. Books and documents are kept in one home currency, the ringgit for Malaysian companies. If you need to issue invoices in several currencies, tell us before you buy.
