- New Zealand is implementing the PINT A-NZ specification for e-invoicing, replacing the ANZ Peppol BIS 3.0 specification as of September 15, 2024.
- The PINT format will be mandatory for business-to-government (B2G) transactions starting May 15, 2025; until then, Peppol BIS 3.0 remains optional.
- The rollout is part of a phased approach, with B2B transactions also adopting PINT when agreed upon by involved parties.
- Australia and New Zealand promote e-invoicing without making it compulsory, offering incentives like faster payment terms for private companies.
- The Peppol network is the chosen platform for e-invoicing in both countries, ensuring accessibility for government administrations.
- Key implementation dates:
- November 15, 2024: Mandatory adoption of invoicing, credit notes, and self-invoicing.
- May 15, 2025: Self-invoicing becomes mandatory, ending the BIS 3.0 specification.
- November 15, 2025: PINT invoice format becomes the standard for all B2G e-invoicing transactions.
- The PINT format has been successfully implemented in Malaysia and Singapore.
- Changes from ANZ PEPPOL BIS 3.0 to PINT A-NZ include new specifications for business process identifiers and a new wildcard scheme for document type identifiers.
- Updated business rules introduce new rule identifiers and streamline or remove others, including some previously classified as “warning” severity levels.
