When creating a self-billed credit note, it is important to understand that the document sent by LHDN is a purchase debit note. This difference in terminology does not indicate an issue.
Why There Is No Issue:
Description from LHDN:
According to LHDN guidelines, a self-billed credit note is issued by the supplier to the buyer.
Supplier’s Perspective:
From the supplier’s point of view, they issue a credit note to the buyer.
If the UBS user is the buyer, receiving a supplier credit note means entering it as a purchase debit note in UBS.
Purpose of a Self-Billed Credit Note:
A Self-Billed Credit Note is issued by buyers to correct errors, apply discounts, or account for returns related to a previously issued Self-Billed e-Invoice.
Its purpose is to reduce the value of the original Self-Billed e-Invoice.
In conclusion, there is no issue when receiving a validated self-billed debit note from LHDN after issuing a self-billed credit note. The difference lies in how each party records the transaction based on their role as supplier or buyer.
