Accounts payable process
We are streamlining and improving the way Auckland Council and its CCOs do business with suppliers. This means:
- purchase orders will only be sent via email
- invoices will only be paid if the corresponding purchase order number is clearly quoted
- invoices must include all taxes, including GST
- Auckland Council's standard payment terms are 20th of the month following the date of invoice. In order to be paid by this date, your invoice should be received by the 5th of the month
- Invoices must be addressed and sent to:
Accounts Payable
Auckland Council
Private Bag 92303

or emailed to invoices@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz
- payments will be made by electronic bank transfer directly into your bank account
- cheques and bank drafts will no longer be used as a form of payment
- remittance advices will be sent by email.
