Charter

The Australian eInvoicing initiative began when the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) established a multi-stakeholder forum (the Digital Business Council) to agree an interoperability framework (Framework). The activities of the Council were funded by the ATO’s provision of a subject matter expert (SME) resourced secretariat service.

The Framework consists of a set of policies, standards and guidelines to provide certainty to the vendor community on a standardised approach for economy-wide adoption of eInvoicing. One of the standards incorporated in the Framework is UBL. The semantic model and eInvoicing implementation guides provide guidance to the market for the implementation of electronic invoices, credit notes and recipient created tax invoices. The Taxation office also provides policy guidance in invoices under the Goods and Services Tax Ruling (GSTR 2013/1).

The vendor community has requested support for UBL beyond the endorsed framework, to include guidance on the use of UBL for the balance of the procurement supply chain and other domains such as logistics and trade facilitation. There is however, a more pressing need to cover payments and remittance advices.

In support of the market adoption of UBL the Australian Localisation Subcommittee has been created by the Universal Business Language Technical Committee (UBL) of OASIS to:

- Establish a dialogue for information sharing and collaboration on the use of UBL;
- Promote the harmonised use of UBL in Australia;
- Understand barriers to UBL adoption and disseminate UBL for consumption in a user-friendly way that promotes understanding and usage;
- Where necessary, propose extensions to UBL to accommodate specific legal and business practices; and
- Produce committee notes on implementation guidelines, practices, country specific business rules and other informative documentation necessary to support Australian requirements, beyond eInvoicing.

Statement of Purpose

The Australian eInvoicing initiative began when the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) established a multi-stakeholder forum (the Digital Business Council) to agree an interoperability framework (Framework).

The semantic model and eInvoicing implementation guides provide guidance to the market for the implementation of electronic invoices, credit notes and recipient created tax invoices. The Taxation office also provides policy guidance in invoices under the Goods and Services Tax Ruling (GSTR 2013/1).

The vendor community has requested support for UBL beyond the endorsed framework, to include guidance on the use of UBL for the balance of the procurement supply chain and other domains such as logistics and trade facilitation.
