Australia adopted Peppol as its national e-invoicing framework, with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) acting as the Peppol Authority. GoRoute (ClayDesk LLC, POP000991) is an ATO-accredited Australian Peppol Service Provider offering a certified Access Point API with ABN-based participant IDs, PINT A-NZ validation, and direct interoperability with the global Peppol network. Connect to the Peppol network and invoice government and enterprise customers — with eligible Commonwealth e-invoices paid faster than paper or PDF.
GoRoute (ClayDesk LLC, Peppol ID POP000991) is an accredited Peppol Service Provider for Australia, accredited by the Australian Peppol Authority — the Australian Taxation Office — in July 2026. Accreditation followed testbed conformance for PINT A-NZ Billing (invoice and credit note) and self-billing. Read more about our ATO accreditation and what it means for choosing an accredited provider.
Accreditation references the ATO's role as Australia's Peppol Authority in words only; no Australian Government or ATO emblem is reproduced here. See our related guide: Peppol Access Point accreditation in Australia.
Australia and New Zealand have moved to a single, jointly governed invoice specification. Here is what changed, and where the ATO is driving adoption.
PINT A-NZ (Peppol International invoice for Australia and New Zealand) is jointly governed by the ATO and New Zealand's MBIE and is based on Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. It is not interchangeable with the European Peppol BIS Billing profile.

The ATO is actively driving eInvoicing across government supply chains. Suppliers that can send Peppol e-invoices today are best positioned to meet buyer requirements.
Background: Australia eInvoicing 2026 & the ATO target.
Australian businesses use ABN-based Peppol participant identifiers. Your 11-digit Australian Business Number, registered with the Australian Business Register (ABR), is published in the Peppol SMP under the 0151 scheme so any Peppol participant can discover you and route invoices to your Access Point.
GoRoute validates your ABN, registers it on the network, and handles renewal of the underlying SMP registration for you. For developers, participant registration and sending are available through our Peppol API integration.
Since July 2022, all Commonwealth agencies can receive Peppol e-invoices. Under the Australian Government's supplier payment policy, eligible e-invoices are paid faster than paper or PDF — commonly within 5 business days for eligible e-invoices.
Payment thresholds and eligibility have changed over time, so confirm the current Commonwealth policy for your contract via Finance or the Digital Transformation Agency. Selling to government? See eInvoicing for Australian Government suppliers.
Because Australia and New Zealand share the PINT A-NZ specification, a single integration with GoRoute covers both markets — ABN identifiers for Australia and NZBN identifiers for New Zealand. GoRoute is pursuing New Zealand mutual accreditation to further streamline trans-Tasman exchange.
Australia was among the first countries outside Europe to adopt Peppol as its national e-invoicing framework. Since July 2022, all Commonwealth government agencies must be able to receive Peppol e-invoices. The A-NZ (Australia–New Zealand) specification extends Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 with local requirements for GST handling, ABN identifiers, and Australian business rules.
Your Australian Business Number (ABN) is your Peppol participant identifier under scheme 0151 — used for seamless e-invoicing integration with government and enterprise buyers.

ATO accreditation, PINT A-NZ, ABN identifiers and Commonwealth payment — answered.
Yes for government suppliers. Since July 2022, all Commonwealth government agencies must be able to receive Peppol e-invoices. The Australian Government's Business eInvoicing Right (BER) lets businesses ask their trading partners to send Peppol e-invoices. There is no economy-wide B2B mandate yet, but adoption is being actively driven by the ATO.
Yes. GoRoute (ClayDesk LLC, Peppol ID POP000991) is an accredited Australian Peppol Service Provider, accredited by the Australian Peppol Authority — the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) — in July 2026. Accreditation followed testbed conformance for PINT A-NZ Billing (invoice and credit note) and self-billing. GoRoute also operates under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 information security and ISO 22301:2019 business continuity.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is Australia's Peppol Authority. It governs the local use of Peppol and accredits Peppol Access Point and SMP (Service Metadata Publisher) service providers. Accredited providers must meet security, conformance, and operational obligations set by the ATO.
PINT A-NZ is the Peppol International invoice specification for Australia and New Zealand. It is jointly governed by the ATO and New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and is based on Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. It is the current required invoice profile for e-invoicing across Australia and New Zealand. Learn more in PINT A-NZ explained.
PINT A-NZ became the required invoice profile on 15 November 2024. The previous legacy ANZ Peppol profiles were retired on 15 May 2025, after which PINT A-NZ is the only supported billing profile. Senders and receivers on the Australian and New Zealand Peppol networks must use PINT A-NZ. See the PINT A-NZ only profile.
No. PINT A-NZ is based on Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 but is a distinct specification with its own business rules and identifiers, and it is not interchangeable with the European Peppol BIS Billing profile. An invoice built for the European profile will not automatically satisfy PINT A-NZ validation. GoRoute produces and validates invoices against the correct profile for each destination.
The Australian Business Number (ABN) is your unique 11-digit business identifier registered with the Australian Business Register (ABR). Australian businesses use ABN-based Peppol participant identifiers, published under the 0151 identifier scheme. GoRoute registers your ABN in the Peppol SMP so trading partners can discover you and deliver invoices directly to your Access Point.
The ATO has set a target for Australian Government agencies to receive 30% of invoices via eInvoicing by 1 July 2026, with automated processing of eInvoices targeted by December 2026. These targets are intended to accelerate Peppol adoption across government supply chains. Suppliers that can send Peppol e-invoices are best positioned to meet buyer expectations. Read Australia eInvoicing 2026 & the ATO target.
Under the Australian Government's supplier payment policy, eligible e-invoices to Commonwealth agencies are paid faster than paper or PDF invoices — commonly within 5 business days for eligible e-invoices. Thresholds and eligibility have changed over time, so you should confirm the current Commonwealth policy for your contract. Faster payment is one of the main commercial reasons Australian suppliers adopt Peppol e-invoicing.
First, connect through an accredited Peppol Access Point such as GoRoute. Next, register your ABN-based participant ID in the SMP, produce a valid PINT A-NZ invoice, and validate it against the Schematron rules. Finally, GoRoute delivers the invoice over AS4 to the receiver's Access Point resolved through the Peppol SML.
Yes. Australia and New Zealand share the PINT A-NZ specification, so a single provider can handle trans-Tasman e-invoicing. GoRoute supports both ABN-based (Australia) and NZBN-based (New Zealand) participant identifiers in one integration. GoRoute is also pursuing New Zealand mutual accreditation to further streamline trans-Tasman exchange. See trans-Tasman e-invoicing with one provider.
Yes. As a Peppol member country, Australian businesses can exchange e-invoices with trading partners across 40+ Peppol countries in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond. Cross-border invoices use the appropriate Peppol profile for the destination, which GoRoute maps and validates automatically. This includes New Zealand, Singapore, and the European Peppol members.
GoRoute holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security and ISO 22301:2019 for business continuity, and operates as a Peppol certified Access Point and SMP provider (POP000991). As an ATO-accredited provider it undergoes an annual review (currently scheduled for 31 July) and reports qualifying security incidents within 4 hours. These controls support both Australian accreditation requirements and global Peppol operations.
Dates, targets and payment policies are subject to change by the relevant Australian Government authorities; always confirm current requirements via the official sources above.
