Improving payment times
From 1 July 2025, Auckland Transport (AT) will scan all supplier invoices that are sent to invoices@at.govt.nz . This is to check if they meet our document requirements. If they do not, the invoice will not be processed for payment. Instead, it will be automatically returned to the sender with an explanation of why and suggested actions to take.
An invoice should have:
an approved purchase order (PO) number
the words ‘Tax Invoice’ in a prominent place (if GST registered)
the name and GST number of supplier (if applicable)
the date of issue
the name and address of the recipient (for example, Auckland Transport)
a description of the goods or services provided
the quantity or volume of the goods or services provided.
Fairness to our supplier partners
Parked invoices (those that cannot be paid due to non-compliance) add up to millions of dollars not being paid on time to suppliers every year. The time taken to fix parked invoices by suppliers and our teams also adds up and is wasted effort.
We chose to make this process better and payments quicker by rejecting incomplete invoices at the start. Our teams are very keen to work with you to get this process right to reduce payment delays and support your cashflow. For more information go to Purchase order & invoicing processes .
