2026 update for New Zealand: From 1 April 2023, NZ replaced the old "tax invoice" rules with "taxable supply information" (TSI) — a record-keeping framework rather than a mandated single document. The low-value threshold rose from $50 to $200, and for supplies over $1,000 the buyer's name and address must be captured. Old-style "tax invoice" wording still complies.
