Send us an invoice

Email your invoice for payment to invoices@ag.gov.au.

Or you can mail it to: GPO Box 1245, TUGGERANONG BC ACT 2901.

What to include in your invoice

Your invoice must include:

• title of the services and details of the work performed
• name of the AGD contact officer (and their email address if your invoice is not related to a purchase order)
• contract number
• your ABN (and ACN, if applicable)
• your bank account details (if you have not already told us).

If you are not providing a separate GST invoice, you must also include any other information needed to make sure you comply with the GST Act.

eInvoicing

eInvoicing is the automated digital exchange of invoice information directly between a buyer’s and supplier’s accounting systems.

We support eInvoicing through the Peppol network. eInvoicing streamlines invoice processing and can help us pay eligible suppliers within 5 days.

Australia uses the internationally established Peppol eInvoicing framework, which provides common standards for the secure exchange of invoice information between different accounting systems.

Our Peppol number is 0151:92661124436.

How to get ready

To start using eInvoicing, you’ll need to check with your software provider to see if they are offering Peppol accredited eInvoicing and what you need to do to also be enabled.

Businesses who want to get started with e-invoicing can find out more on the Australian Tax Office (ATO) website.

You can also look up the ATO’s eInvoicing accredited service providers list to find who is already registered and offering eInvoicing.

For questions about our implementation of eInvoicing, email accounts@ag.gov.au.

Purchases above $10,000

If the purchase is for $10,000 or more, you must include the relevant purchase order number. Your invoice should only relate to a single purchase order.

Our performance with the Supplier Pay On-Time Policy

The Supplier Pay On‑Time or Pay Interest Policy requires non‑corporate Commonwealth entities (NCEs) to pay eligible invoices within either:

• five calendar days for electronic invoices (eInvoices)
• twenty calendar days for all other invoices, unless a shorter payment period was agreed between the NCE and a supplier.

As an NCE, we must pay interest to the supplier on an overdue amount if the interest has accrued to more than $100.

Interest is calculated at the ATO general interest charge (GIC) rate for each calendar day the payment is overdue. Interest accrues from the day after the payment due date, up to and including the day we pay.
