New Zealand is adopting the Peppol framework through the A-NZ specification, led by MBIE. Use your New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) to connect to the Peppol network and exchange electronic invoices with government agencies, Australian businesses, and trading partners worldwide.
New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is championing the adoption of Peppol e-invoicing across both government and the private sector. The A-NZ Peppol framework — developed jointly with Australia — provides a shared standard that makes trans-Tasman trade frictionless while supporting NZ-specific requirements like NZBN identification and 15% GST handling.
Your 13-digit New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) is your Peppol identifier — making your business discoverable across the entire global Peppol network.
Seamless e-invoicing with Australia under the shared A-NZ framework, plus Singapore, Europe, and 40+ countries.

New Zealand government agencies are progressively adopting Peppol e-invoicing as part of the national digital transformation programme led by MBIE. While B2B e-invoicing is not yet mandatory, government suppliers are strongly encouraged to use Peppol for faster processing and payment. The A-NZ framework provides a clear path for businesses to prepare for expected mandates.
The New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) is your unique 13-digit business identifier issued by the NZ Companies Office. In the Peppol network, NZBN can be used under the GLN (0088) identifier scheme, enabling your business to be discovered by any Peppol participant worldwide. GoRoute registers your NZBN on the Peppol SMP so trading partners can send you invoices directly.
The A-NZ (Australia–New Zealand) framework extends the European Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 specification with local requirements. For NZ businesses, this means support for NZBN identifiers, 15% GST handling, zero-rated export supplies, and NZ-specific Schematron validation rules. Any business using the A-NZ profile can exchange invoices seamlessly with both NZ and Australian counterparts — and the wider Peppol network.
Absolutely. The A-NZ framework was specifically designed for seamless trans-Tasman e-invoicing between NZ and Australia. Beyond that, GoRoute connects NZ businesses to 40+ countries including Singapore, Germany, France, and the USA (via DBNAlliance). See our whitepapers and API documentation.
