With a goal of 30% adoption by July 2026 and automated processing by December 2026, the Commonwealth Government is requiring electronic invoices by default for all non-corporate Commonwealth entities (NCEs).
Breakdown
All non-corporate Commonwealth entities (NCEs) must use electronic invoicing as the norm, per the Commonwealth Government's directive.
NCEs will begin collaborating with suppers to facilitate this transition.
The goal is to ensure that 30% of all invoices received are via eInvoicing, i.e., Peppol Network, by 1 July 2026, and to enable automated processing and sending of e-invoices by December 2026. NCEs will submit quarterly updates on their progress toward these targets to the Australian Peppol Authority (APA).
The Australian Taxation Office, with assistance from Treasury and the Department of Finance, is helping agencies transition to eInvoicing by default. Following consultation, this support may include requiring suppliers involved in whole-of-Australian-Government panel arrangements to use Peppol.
