More than 50,000 businesses are choosing eInvoicing – the direct digital exchange of invoice information between a supplier’s and buyer’s systems. This major milestone marks a 400% growth in the last year.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) recently increased the membership of the existing eInvoicing Open Syndicated Agreement.

The refreshed agreement, available for all of Government, will assist agencies to meet the Government Procurement Rules requirement to send and/or receive eInvoices by January 2026.

The Government is requiring more government agencies to send and receive eInvoices and pay eInvoices within 5 business days.

eInvoicing is the smarter, smoother and safer way to invoice. Thousands of small businesses, leading New Zealand businesses and Government agencies are adopting this new way of invoicing.

Meeting minutes from the 10th eInvoicing Advisory Leadership Group meeting are now available.

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong announced on Monday 15 April 2024 the signing of the eInvoicing Memorandum of Agreement (MoA).

The Government is highly supportive of eInvoicing. It intends to ramp up eInvoicing adoption with government organisations and businesses.

In early February the Director of Digital Agency and Cabinet Secretariat Hiroyuki Kato (Kato-san), from the Japanese government, met with MBIE’s eInvoicing team to learn how the team is growing adoption of eInvoicing in NZ.
