Australia
Voluntary, no mandate yet
Mandate Overview
The mandate
Australia operates a voluntary Peppol-based e-invoicing framework jointly governed by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and the Digital Transformation Agency (DTA). Peppol-based e-invoicing has been mandatory for all federal Commonwealth government agencies since July 1, 2022, requiring them to receive Peppol invoices from any supplier that sends them. B2B adoption remains voluntary, but the Australian Peppol Authority (operated by the ATO) actively promotes uptake through SME incentives and a five-day payment policy for federal agencies receiving Peppol invoices under AUD 1 million.
