New Zealand e-invoicing

Invoicerr does not support New Zealand

No New Zealand data file exists anywhere in this repository — no country policy, no identifiers, no tax system, no transmission channel. Nothing on this page is implemented. It is here so that someone who wants New Zealand support knows what adding it would involve. The countries Invoicerr does cover are listed in the country directory.

New Zealand exchanges e-invoices over the Peppol Network, using the Peppol PINT A-NZ format shared with Australia under the Trans-Tasman framework. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment runs the country's Peppol framework, and larger government agencies must be able to send and receive e-invoices.

What supporting New Zealand would involve​

SystemPeppol Network, using the PINT A-NZ specification (shared with Australia)
AuthorityMBIE — Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
FormatEN 16931 (Peppol BIS). This repository already builds and validates it (formats/peppol-bis-provider.ts, formats/ubl-provider.ts), so the format would not have to be written from scratch.
TransmissionPeppol Access Point. The Peppol transport was removed from this repository on 2026-09-15 for want of a real Access Point account, so one would have to be built.
Inherited, unverified

Carried over from an earlier research pass in this repository's own history, and never checked against a primary source. Leads, not facts — confirm every line before writing it into a data file.

  • Central agencies must already be able to receive Peppol invoices; larger agencies must send and receive from January 2026.
  • Large suppliers are expected to be required to send e-invoices to government from 2027.
  • Standard GST rate is 15 percent.

Which catalogues a contributor would add​

Adding a country is data, not code. Adding a country is the procedure and the contract each file has to satisfy; this is only the shopping list for New Zealand.

  • country-policy/data/nz.json — which document actions New Zealand allows. Start here: without this file every action is refused with a 403, naming the country.
  • country-identifiers/data/nz.json — which national identifier a party must carry.
  • tax/tax-systems/data/nz.json and vat-rates/data/nz.json — the tax kind, and the rate ladder offered on an invoice line.
  • correction-routes/data/nz.json — all eleven canonical correction routes, unverified where unresearched, never omitted.
  • b2g-routing/data/nz.json — the channel and format a public buyer in New Zealand requires.
  • transports/channel-policy/data/nz.json — whether a channel is legally required of a seller established in New Zealand, and from what date.
  • archive/retention/data/nz.json — how long an archived document is kept, and what the duration is counted from.

Add mentions/, content-requirements/, country-fields/, reporting/ and domestic-reverse-charge/ only where the law actually gives them content.

Data alone will not finish the job here: the Peppol network is a transmission channel this repository does not implement, which is code, not a JSON file — see When a country needs more than a file.

Want New Zealand supported?​

Check the open compliance issues first. If there is no issue for New Zealand, open one and name which of the files above you need — a request that names one mechanism is far more actionable than "please add New Zealand".
