Electronic invoicing in Australia is being implemented in phases. Since 1 July 2022, all Commonwealth government agencies are legally required to receive electronic invoices through the Peppol network. This means that while B2G e-invoicing is mandatory for the public sector, suppliers are currently not obligated to send e-invoices, but they are encouraged to adopt the system. In the B2B sector, electronic invoicing is still voluntary. However, under the Business E-Invoicing Right (BER), if a business requests an e-invoice, its trading partner must comply. This obligation currently applies to large businesses and will extend to all businesses by 1 July 2025.
The Peppol framework, managed in Australia by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), ensures standardized and secure document exchange. E-invoicing through Peppol supports interoperability between systems, both within Australia and internationally. B2Brouter is an accredited Peppol Access Point that allows businesses to send and receive both B2G and B2B e-invoices, and to operate across borders with partners in other Peppol-compliant countries, ensuring legal and technical compliance.
The next sections provide an overview of key implementation dates, legal obligations, formats, and technical requirements.
