InvoiceNow Grants

InvoiceNow is an e-invoicing method that streamlines the direct transmission of invoices in a structured digital format across systems in Singapore. This new standard for invoicing, which runs on the open-standard Peppol network, will benefit both Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Large Enterprises (LEs) by enabling smoother invoicing, quicker payments, and a better method of environmental conservation.

To boost registrations and encourage transactions of businesses through the InvoiceNow network, IMDA has offered 3 new grants for companies to apply.
