Peppol eInvoicing
in New Zealand
Aotearoa New Zealand may be small, but it continues to lead in digital innovation. Following Singapore’s lead, New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) became the Peppol Authority in 2019. Alongside the Australian Government, MBIE has helped shape a common Trans-Tasman eInvoicing standard to promote seamless digital transactions via the Peppol network.
