Australia E-Invoicing FAQ

Is e-invoicing mandatory in Australia?

Yes, for government suppliers. Since July 2022, all Commonwealth government agencies must accept Peppol e-invoices. The Australian Government's Business E-Invoicing Right (BER) enables businesses to request e-invoicing from their trading partners. B2B mandates are expected to follow as the framework matures. Businesses supplying to government benefit from faster payment terms — contracts under $1 million are paid within 5 business days when using Peppol e-invoicing.

What is ABN and how is it used for Peppol e-invoicing?

The Australian Business Number (ABN) is your unique 11-digit business identifier registered with the Australian Business Register (ABR). In the Peppol network, ABN is used under the 0151 identifier scheme, making your business discoverable to any Peppol participant worldwide. GoRoute automatically registers your ABN on the Peppol SMP so trading partners can look you up and send invoices directly.

What is the A-NZ Peppol framework?

The A-NZ (Australia–New Zealand) Peppol framework is the regional implementation of the Peppol interoperability standard, developed jointly by both governments. It extends the European Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 specification with local requirements including ABN/NZBN identifiers, GST handling rules, and regional Schematron validation rules. GoRoute's infrastructure fully supports the A-NZ profile alongside the base European specification.

Can Australian businesses send e-invoices internationally?

Absolutely. As a Peppol member, Australian businesses can exchange e-invoices with trading partners across 40+ countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas. This includes New Zealand (shared A-NZ framework), Singapore, Germany, France, and many more. See our whitepapers and API documentation.
