Japan’s Peppol authority has implemented significant updates to its e-invoicing system to align with the international PINT (Peppol International) v1.1.1 specifications. The new specifications, which took effect on May 28, 2025, directly impact all businesses using the Peppol network for business-to-business (B2B) e-invoicing in Japan.
Which Businesses Are Affected?
The updated specifications cover three key business scenarios for Peppol network users in Japan:
