The Australian Government has announced a proposal to create a “Business eInvoicing Right” (BER) with a staggered approach from July 1, 2023. Under this proposed initiative, customers would have the right to be able to request that suppliers issue an electronic invoice to them instead of paper invoices. The aim of this BER is to support wider business adoption of e-invoicing by giving businesses the certainty that when they invest in e-invoicing, that they would be able to make use of it with their trading partners. Under the proposal, large businesses will need to be able to comply with the BER by July 1, 2023, medium businesses by July 1, 2024 and small businesses by July 1, 2025.
