InvoiceNow
The GST InvoiceNow Requirement, explained
Singapore is moving every GST-registered business onto structured e-invoicing over the Peppol network. Here is what that means for you — in plain language.
Live on the Peppol network
Watch an invoice travel the network
No PDFs, no re-typing. Your invoice leaves Digi as structured data, reaches your customer's software in seconds — and a copy reports itself to IRAS. That is the whole GST InvoiceNow Requirement, handled.
How InvoiceNow works — the five-corner model
Invoices travel system-to-system as structured data over the Peppol network. The fifth corner is what the new requirement adds.
Your accounting or ERP system (like Digi) issues the invoice as structured data — not a PDF.
IMDA-accredited Access Points transmit the invoice from your system to your customer’s system.
The invoice arrives directly inside their software, ready to approve and pay — no re-typing.
A copy of the invoice data flows automatically to IRAS via the Access Points. This is the "GST InvoiceNow Requirement".
Unlike Malaysia’s MyInvois, there is no approval wait, no UIN, no QR code. Invoices flow peer-to-peer; data is reported to IRAS.
A PDF attached to an email is not a structured e-invoice and does not meet the requirement.

InvoiceNow questions, answered
What exactly is the GST InvoiceNow Requirement?
GST-registered businesses must send invoice data to IRAS through the InvoiceNow network — Singapore’s national e-invoicing network built on the international Peppol standard. Invoices travel system-to-system as structured data, and a copy of the data flows automatically to IRAS via accredited Access Points.
I already email PDF invoices. Isn’t that enough?
No. A PDF attached to an email is not a structured e-invoice and does not meet the requirement. Invoices must be transmitted as structured data over the Peppol network.
What happens if I don’t comply?
For new voluntary GST registrants the requirement is already a condition of registration — non-compliance means refusal or cancellation of GST registration. For existing businesses, obligations attach to your assigned wave between 2028 and 2031.
Is Digi connected to the InvoiceNow network?
Yes — Digi sends and receives e-invoices via IMDA-accredited Access Point partners, using the Peppol PINT SG billing standard, including the IRAS reporting flow required under the GST InvoiceNow Requirement.
