No more piles of receipts and invoices required!

Dealing with GST invoices is now much simpler. Inland Revenue’s new rules, from 1 April, 2023 aim to modernise your record-keeping systems, which means you’ll be able to get closer to a completely paperless business.

Physical paperwork or PDFs no longer required.

From April, you no longer need to keep a physical copy of a tax invoice, a credit note or a debit note. Your taxable information supply can be digital – included in your accounting software, in your transaction records or in contractual information.

New wording - you no longer need to label your invoices as ‘Tax invoice’. The new wording is ‘taxable supply information’, but you don’t need to specify that on any invoices. It’s just the Inland Revenue’s way of explaining that certain information needs to be included on the documentation - you don’t need to make any alterations.

The changes were necessary to make e-invoicing legal, so without any actual paperwork or even a PDF moving around, your system-to-system invoices are still valid.
