Moving forward, GST-registered businesses will need to be on InvoiceNow solutions to send invoice data to IRAS for tax administration. The requirement will be rolled out progressively in phases. Here are the timeframes for the implementation.

From 1 November 2025, newly incorporated companies that voluntarily register for GST will need to be on an InvoiceNow solution.

From 1 April 2026, any other company who voluntarily registers for GST. This is regardless of when the company is incorporated or when the business is registered.

 

There will be a soft launch from the 1st of May 2025. This soft launch is for companies and businesses who wish to adopt the InvoiceNow solution before the deadline to do so.

 

Here are the four steps to onboard the InvoiceNow solution.

Step 1: Ensure that the solution is InvoiceNow-enabled.

Step 2: Register for InvoiceNow and obtain a Peppol ID.

Step 3: Connect your InvoiceNow solution to IRAS’ system using Application Programming Interface (API) technology.

Step 4: Activate the feature and start transmitting invoice data to IRAS.
