The National Capital Authority has e-invoicing capability and as such will be able to pay invoices from you in 5 days if you are eligible and e-invoicing enabled. 

What is e-invoicing?

E-invoicing is the automated digital exchange of invoice information directly between a buyer's and supplier's accounting systems. Australia uses the internationally established Peppol e-invoicing framework. This framework contains common standards that allow invoice exchange between different accounting systems. It means invoice processing can be streamlined and invoices can be sent and received in a more secure way than email.

Benefits of e-invoicing

• Cost savings
• Less time and errors
• Reliable and secure
• Reduced payment times
• Connect once, trade with many
• Environmentally friendly

How to get ready

To start using e-invoicing you’ll need to check with your accounting software provider to see if they are offering Peppol accredited e-invoicing capability and what you need to do to be enabled.

Information for businesses who want to get started with e-invoicing is also available on the ATO website. You can also look up the ATO’s E-invoicing accredited service providers list to find who is already registered and offering e-invoicing.
