myIR, Peppol eInvoicing and GST: receipt and verification notices for New Zealand businesses

Inland Revenue (Te Tari Taake) administers myIR and the GST regime, while MBIE leads the Peppol eInvoicing network for New Zealand and trans-Tasman exchange. 4notify integrates with New Zealand accounting software (Xero, MYOB, Hnry) and delivers receipt acknowledgements, validation status reports and myIR correspondence notices.

Preamble

Section 1 — Pursuant to the Tax Administration Act 1994 and the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985, this Pānui is issued concerning the delivery of eInvoicing receipt acknowledgements and GST-related notices.

Legislative basis
Tax Administration Act 1994

Sets out record-keeping, correspondence and electronic-communication rules for dealings with Inland Revenue via myIR.

Goods and Services Tax Act 1985

Governs GST registration, tax-invoice (taxable supply information) requirements and filing obligations.

Peppol eInvoicing framework (MBIE)

New Zealand's adoption of the Peppol interoperability framework for structured electronic invoices across the Tasman.

Implementation
01

Xero / MYOB / Hnry webhook

4notify subscribes to the eInvoice queue in the accounting software; the document is validated before it is exchanged over the Peppol network.

02

Receipt acknowledgement + validation report

A receipt acknowledgement reaches the sender within 60 seconds; the validation status (accepted / flagged / rejected) follows within five minutes.

03

Routing to the right adviser

Receipt acknowledgements are routed to the relevant accountant or bookkeeper by their registered IRD number.

04

Seven-year retention (TAA)

Every invoice and acknowledgement is retained for seven years with a hash signature, per Tax Administration Act record-keeping rules.

Frequently asked questions
Does 4notify need an Inland Revenue API key?

No. 4notify works from the delivery envelopes produced by the accounting software; the IRD / myIR connection stays with the accountant or the software provider.

What is the difference between a tax invoice and eInvoicing?

A tax invoice (taxable supply information) is the GST record; eInvoicing is the structured Peppol exchange of that record between systems. 4notify handles acknowledgements and notices for both through one envelope.
