Government proposal of Business E-invoicing Right (BER)

Australia has proposed a Business E-invoicing Right (BER) to encourage wider business adoption of e-invoicing. Under this proposal, businesses are legally obliged to adopt and send e‑invoices if requested by their customers. BER will be implemented first on large businesses by July 1, 2023, then on medium businesses by July 1, 2024, and on small businesses by July 1, 2025.

The Australian government has initiated a public consultation to seek stakeholder opinions on BER and further measures to support business adoption of e-invoicing. It will not be long before we learn more about the BER project.
