Governments everywhere are moving to real-time tax reporting so digital tax transformation has moved from a future consideration to your daily reality. As continuous transaction controls (CTCs) expand and e-invoicing becomes standard tax policy, compliance now runs on speed and constant change.
Download our Regulatory Forecast 2026 for a clear view of what’s coming in the global e-invoicing landscape, and what it means for how you do business.
Why e-invoicing is accelerating
E-invoicing is no longer a future requirement. It’s active policy in over 60 markets, with dozens more rolling out mandates through 2026 and beyond. Initiatives like the EU’s VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) show the direction clearly: tax authorities want transaction data in real time, and businesses need systems that can deliver it continuously, not just periodically.
For Australian businesses trading globally, this shift touches more than local compliance. Your suppliers, subsidiaries, and customers across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East are all working through their own mandates on their own timelines. Getting ahead of these requirements protects your supply chain and positions you to compete.
What’s changing in APAC’s regulatory landscape?
Australia is advancing B2G e-invoicing through the Peppol Network, non-corporate Commonwealth entities have been required to be able to receive Peppol e-invoices since July 2022; Australia does not currently have a broad domestic B2B e-invoicing mandate. Singapore and Malaysia have phased e-invoicing requirements, , and China continues to expand its fully digital invoice (e-fapiao) rollout. If your business operates across the region, multiple deadlines are converging at once.
From France’s mandate for large taxpayers starting September 2026, to Poland’s KSeF system, to new CTC models rolling out across the Middle East and Africa, over 40 countries have mandates rolling out in 2026 and 2027 alone. Each follows its own model, its own format, and its own timeline.
From France’s mandate for large and mid-sized businesses starting 1 September 2026, to Poland’s KSeF system, which began mandatory rollout on 1 February 2026 for the largest taxpayers and 1 April 2026 for most others, to new CTC models rolling out across the Middle East and Africa, businesses face a growing number of country-specific requirements. Each follows its own model, its own format, and its own timeline.
