Since October 2024, E-invoicing adoption in under consultation and the completion of this consultation is expected in February 2025. This consultation is intended for small, medium and large businesses, tax and BAS agents, federal government departments and digital service providers.
The purpose of this consultation is to understand the implications for business if eInvoicing becomes the preferred channel for government to accept invoices from suppliers, and to explore the support expected from the Australian Peppol Authority, particularly during the transition period.
Currently, the use of e-invoicing through the Peppol network in Australia is optional. Despite its potential to enhance efficiency and security, the rate of adoption remains lower than necessary to fully realize the broader productivity benefits associated with this technology. A consultation will be conducted to explore how the Australian Peppol Authority can promote greater use of e-invoicing for business-to-government transactions, assess its impact on various community segments, and identify what support may be needed during the transition period.
