Australia Announces Timeline for Government E-Invoicing Adoption

  • Government mandate: By mid-2026, 30% of supplier invoices must use Peppol; by December 2026, all agencies must enable automated e-invoicing, driving consistency and digital transformation across the public sector.

  • ATO clarification: The ATO confirmed Peppol e-invoices qualify as valid tax invoices if they meet specification requirements, offering certainty to businesses and simplifying compliance for both public and private sector suppliers.

  • Economic benefits: Research shows full e-invoicing adoption could deliver A$22.5 billion yearly, cutting fraud, saving firms around A$970,000 annually, improving efficiency, and reducing invoice processing times and payment cycles significantly.

  • Support resources: The government published guidance, supplier lists, and a dedicated page, while the ATO launched small business e-invoicing training to boost awareness, ensure readiness, and promote broader adoption nationally.
