This guide explains Australia's e-invoicing landscape, including the Peppol network, current compliance requirements, and projected market growth. It highlights that while private businesses are not yet mandated to use e-invoicing, government entities must, with deadlines set for 2026, and outlines funding and efficiency gains. The article also details the standard format and benefits such as faster payments and reduced errors.
Australia mandates the PINT A-NZ (Peppol International Australia-New Zealand) format, which includes all data required by the ATO and became mandatory for B2G transactions in November 2024.
Peppol uses a four-corner model where invoices flow from seller through a certified access point, across the Peppol network, to the buyer's access point, and into their accounting software.
The Australian Business Number (ABN) serves as the e-invoicing address on the Peppol network, enabling automatic routing of invoices between trading partners.
Non-corporate Commonwealth entities began receiving e-invoices from July 2022 and must enable automated processing and sending of e-invoices by December 2026.
Businesses must register on the Peppol network through a certified access point provider, use the PINT A-NZ format, and configure their ABN as the e-invoicing identifier.
