PINT Japan: the Japanese PINT variant for e-invoicing via the Peppol network.
PINT Japan is the Japanese variant of the Peppol International Invoice (PINT). The specification is managed by the Digital Agency, the Japanese Peppol Authority, and is optimised for the Japanese tax system and local invoicing practices.
PINT Japan adds Japanese business rules to the international PINT framework. The specification accounts for the specific requirements of the Japanese tax system, such as the Qualified Invoice System (QIS) that Japan introduced in 2023.
Peppol adoption in Japan is still in its early stages compared to Europe and Singapore, but it is growing steadily. The Digital Agency promotes e-invoicing as part of a broader digitalisation agenda.

The eConnect PSB fully supports PINT Japan. Invoices to Japanese receivers are automatically transformed to PINT Japan and routed via the Peppol network.
