See how InvoiceAgility handles e-Invoicing requirements

Invoicing in New Zealand Highlights

Under New Zealand's Government Procurement Rules (MBIE, effective 1 December 2025), B2G e-invoicing requirements are tightening in two stages: from 1 January 2026, government agencies that send or receive more than 2,000 domestic trade invoices annually must be able to both send and receive e-invoices, and must pay 95% of domestic trade e-invoices within five business days; then from 1 January 2027, large suppliers — those with total revenue (including subsidiaries) exceeding NZD 33 million in each of the two preceding accounting periods — must submit e-invoices to government buyers via the Peppol network. All B2G e-invoicing must use the Peppol PINT A-NZ Billing specification, which became mandatory from 15 May 2025, replacing the earlier ANZ Peppol BIS 3.0 format. B2B e-invoicing remains voluntary, with no mandate currently planned.
