GoRoute sends and receives New Zealand e-invoices over Peppol, in the PINT A-NZ format, with your NZBN as your Peppol ID. Government agencies have had to receive eInvoices since 1 January 2026, pay 95% of them within 5 business days, and from 1 January 2027 must require large suppliers to eInvoice. One API connects you to them, to Australia and to the global Peppol network.
GoRoute (ClayDesk LLC, Peppol ID POP000991) is accredited by the New Zealand Peppol Authority (the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Pūtea Tāhiko) and listed among its eInvoicing Access Point providers. The Certificate of Accreditation covers the Peppol Access Point and Service Metadata Publisher services, was issued on 16 October 2026 and runs to 31 July 2027, the end of the Authority’s year, after which it is renewed annually. It is held by ClayDesk LLC, the same entity that holds our OpenPeppol certification and our place on the ATO’s register for Australia, so one accredited provider covers both sides of the Tasman. The certificate is on our trust page.

The rules sit in the Government Procurement Rules and bind government agencies. They reach businesses through agency contracts: there is no B2B mandate.
Agencies that receive more than 2,000 domestic trade invoices a year must be able to receive eInvoices in their main accounts payable systems, and those that send more than 2,000 must be able to send them (Rule 44.1).
Agencies must pay 95% of domestic trade eInvoices within 5 business days, and other domestic trade invoices within 10 business days. They report their payment times to MBIE every quarter (Rule 36).
Agencies above the 2,000-invoice threshold must require their large suppliers to submit eInvoices. A large supplier has revenue over NZ$33 million in each of the two preceding accounting periods (Rule 44.2; the threshold explained).
No business is obliged to eInvoice another business. Around 113,000 New Zealand businesses were registered for eInvoicing by July 2026, according to the Government.
A New Zealand Peppol invoice is identified by your NZBN, carries your GST number for tax, and follows PINT A-NZ, the specification New Zealand shares with Australia.
Your 13-digit New Zealand Business Number is your participant ID under scheme 0088 and the legal registration number on every invoice. We register it on the Peppol network so any sender can find you.
The GST number is not the Peppol ID. It appears as 9 digits under the GST tax scheme, with a leading zero added to an 8-digit number. Through the REST API you send it as your tax ID; the WooCommerce and Wix apps do not have a separate GST number field yet.
The current specification, released in May 2026: invoices, credit notes and self-billed invoices, with 15% GST and zero-rated exports (Peppol specification).
Inland Revenue accepts Peppol eInvoicing as a way to provide this information (IRD). Self-billing needs no IRD approval since 1 April 2023: both parties must be GST-registered and agree to it (IRD).
Everything between your invoicing system and your buyer: registration, the PINT A-NZ document, delivery over Peppol, and the invoices you receive.

There is no B2B mandate. The rules bind government agencies: since 1 January 2026, agencies that receive or send more than 2,000 domestic trade invoices a year must be able to receive and send eInvoices (Government Procurement Rule 44). From 1 January 2027, those agencies must require their large suppliers, with revenue over NZ$33 million in each of the two preceding accounting periods, to submit eInvoices.
Under Government Procurement Rule 36, agencies must pay 95% of domestic trade eInvoices within 5 business days, and other domestic trade invoices within 10 business days. The rule took effect in January 2026, and agencies report their payment times to MBIE every quarter.
Your NZBN. It is your Peppol participant ID under scheme 0088 and the legal registration number on every New Zealand Peppol invoice. Your GST number goes in the invoice's tax identifier field, as 9 digits (an 8-digit number gets a leading zero). Through the REST API you send it as your tax ID; the WooCommerce and Wix apps do not have a separate GST number field yet.
PINT A-NZ is the Peppol specification Australia and New Zealand share for e-invoices. The current versions are PINT A-NZ Billing and Self-billing 1.1.3, released in May 2026. It replaced the older A-NZ extension of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. GoRoute sends and receives PINT A-NZ invoices, credit notes and self-billed invoices.
Yes. Inland Revenue names Peppol eInvoicing as a valid way to provide taxable supply information. What the invoice must contain depends on its value: up to $200, the seller's name, the date, a description and the amount; over $200, also the seller's GST number and the GST amounts; over $1,000, also the buyer's name and one identifier such as their NZBN, address or email (IRD).
No, not since 1 April 2023. Both parties must be GST-registered and agree that only the buyer provides the taxable supply information (IRD). PINT A-NZ Self-billing carries these invoices over Peppol.
