How you can invoice us
Page Content
Before you invoice us
You need a purchase order number before you can send us an invoice.
Valid purchase order numbers are ten digits long with a '30', '65', or '66' prefix.
What to do if you don't have a purchase order number
If you do not have a purchase order or do not know your purchase order number, contact the person you have been dealing with and request this information.
How to send us your invoice
You should know
We accept invoices as PDF or Microsoft Word files. We accept Excel files if only one tab is used and the document is formatted to portrait.
We will only accept computer-generated invoices.
We do not accept handwritten invoices or handwritten purchase order numbers.

Email your invoice to invoices@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz.

What happens to your invoice
We will scan and load the information on your invoice into our financial system.
When we will pay your invoice
Invoices dated in the current month should reach us by the fifth working day of the month to ensure we can process them for payment on the 20th of the month.
You need to include on your invoice the month you delivered the service or goods.
For example, for goods or services provided in January with an invoice:
- dated 31 January and received by 5 February will be paid on 20 February
- dated 1 February and received by 5 February will be paid on 20 March.
We will make an electronic bank transfer directly into your bank account on the 20th of the month, following the date on your invoice.
To prevent duplication, don't send corrected invoices except if we have returned the original to you.
Sending a credit note
Send credit notes to the same address as invoices. Clearly state 'Credit' and refer to the original invoice.
Always put a valid purchase order number on the credit note.
