Commonwealth agencies receive eInvoices over Peppol; the A-NZ profile is the national rule set.
The facts
| Format | A-NZ Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, addressed by ABN |
| Goes to | ATO as Peppol Authority; Commonwealth agencies as buyers |
| Regime | Post-audit — you issue, then report |
| Invoice number | Stays ours: gap-free, sequential, yours to control |
| Seller tax ID | Tax ID |
| Buyer tax ID | Tax ID |
| Peppol EAS code | 0151 |
| Integration | Direct, no third-party provider needed |
The part that costs a day
The electronic address is the ABN under scheme 0151, and it has to be registered on the network before anything reaches you — businesses often discover this when a supplier says the invoice was sent and nothing arrived. GST applies on the document itself, so a Peppol file is not a substitute for a tax invoice: it has to carry everything a tax invoice needs, or the customer cannot claim the credit.
We issue gap-free, sequential numbers that reset on your schedule and are never reused — including for voided documents, which keep theirs. The authority takes the document as numbered.
Never extracted from the gross. The two formulas differ by a cent and the wrong one gets the file rejected. The leftover cent is declared as payment rounding (BT-114), where the standard puts it.
Straight talk
We do not hold your signing certificate, we do not file your periodic returns, and we are not your accountant.
No third-party provider is required: we build and validate the document ourselves, and you can still connect one if your accountant prefers it.
