The Australian Government is establishing eInvoicing as the default method for exchanging invoice information for all non-corporate Commonwealth entities (NCEs), with transitional arrangements commencing immediately.
The government is working to update its policies, processes and guidance to support the mandate.
From 1 July 2026, all NCEs will be required to receive at least 30% of their invoices via e-invoicing. By December 2026, agencies must also have the capability to automatically process and send e-invoices.
The move establishes e-invoicing as the default method for exchanging invoice information with NCEs, with transitional arrangements already underway.
The Department of Treasury, in collaboration with the Department of Finance and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), is leading implementation. The ATO, as Australia’s Peppol Authority, will provide support and guidance to help agencies meet the new requirements.
The government is also working to update its policies, processes, and guidance to support the mandate. Businesses dealing with government agencies are encouraged to become Peppol-ready ahead of the changes.
